Etoile du Sahel vs Petro Luanda Prediction: The home team to secure the maximum points here

Etoile du Sahel will hope for a better outing this time when they host Petro Luanda at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi Stadium on Saturday. The hosts can’t afford to drop points following their (2-0) defeat in their opening game, while the visitors will be keen to secure a point at least.

The Red and White began their CAF Champions League journey with a (2-0) defeat against arch-rival Esperance ST. Etoile du Sahel were intimated by their opponent as they conceded twice after the break to succumb to a loss.

Etoile du Sahel are among the best teams in the Tunisian League. Etoile du Sahel won the CAF Championship once in 2007 but have failed to make their mark since then. Etoile du Sahel knocked out Moroccan champions to secure their ticket to the group phase. However, they have struggled to win games in the league, with three wins and two draws in their last five matches.

The Red and White are a group of young and experienced players who’ll definitely show class here.

The Angola Girabola League Champions started the campaign with a slim (1-0) victory over Al Hilal Omdurman. Their home game was one of their best in a long time, as they dominated from the start to the end. A goal from Ignacio Miguel was all that was needed to secure the maximum point.

Alexandra Santos's men will have to double their efforts to overturn to get a goal here, as the hosts will likely dominate the possession. Petro Luanda are unbeaten in their league this season, and we expect them to fight here.

Etoile du Sahel have struggled in recent games and head here with a defeat against Esperance ST. The Red and White are excellent on their ground, and we are confident they’ll win here. On the opposing end, Petro Luanda have not really lived up to expectations when they play away from home. We believe the hosts will bounce back from their recent loss; bet on a home win for 1.62.

We expect to see fewer goals here for 1.60.

The home team will win and score less than three goals for 1.96.

Good luck!
