Club Africain vs Etoile du Sahel Prediction: The visitors might not feature all their key players here

On Thursday, Club Africain will host Etoile du Sahel at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi Stadium. The home side are the only unbeaten team in the group and stand a chance to move to the top of the log if they amass the maximum points here.

Last five games: DWWWW

The home team extended their unbeaten record in the league following the (0-1) victory over EGS Gafsa. Club Africain kicked off the game in high fashion but waited till the final few seconds of halftime to take the lead, which was enough for them to secure the maximum points on the road.

Club African were among the best home teams in the division and are unbeaten in four games on their own turf. They occupy the third spot, picking up eighteen points from a combined twenty-four.

The Red and White bounced back from a back-to-back share of the spoils as they won (2-1) against EGS Gafsa. Etoile du Sahel scored twice, having gone two games without a goal.

Etoile du Sahel have drawn the joint most games on the table as they trail the league leaders with two points. The Red and White are two of the most successful teams in the Tunisian League. The Red and White head here with a win and two defeats in the CAF Champions League, and we think they’ll prioritise the competition to the Ligue One.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Club Africain Tunis have won four, while Etoile du Sahel have recorded ten wins and six games ending in a tie. Etoile du Sahel have a challenging task in their upcoming CAF Champions League game as they sit at the bottom of the log. They must win their next game, which will take place in Tanzania, to stand a chance of advancing to the next round. On the opposing end, Club Africain lead their group despite recent defeat in Nigeria; however, no panic for them as they play at home against Rivers United in seven days.

The last time Club Africain won on their ground against Etoile du Sahel in the league was in 2017. The visitors have constantly terrorised the hosts. However, we think Club Africain will feature their best players here, but we can’t say that about Etoile du Sahel, who have a critical game five days later. We anticipate a draw here but in favour of the hosts; bet on a home win or draw and under 2.5 goals for 1.89.

A win for the hosts for 2.42 might be worth the risk.

Bet on a halftime draw for 1.78.

Good luck!
