Club Africain vs Etoile Sahel Prediction: Hosts expected to take maximum points

Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi will host the Tunisia Professionnelle Ligue 1 encounter between Club Africain and Etoile Sahel. There is just one point separating both teams in the standings. How will this game end?

Club Africain's last encounter was against Stade Tunisien, and they came out with a 1-1 draw. In that game, Club Africain took the lead in just 16 minutes, with Ghaith Sghaier scoring for this side. However, the 57th minute of the second half saw this team concede, with Wael Ouerghemmi leveling the scores for their opponent. Now, heading into this game, Club Africain have lost three, drawn one and won just one of their last five games. In the championship group of the Tunisia Professionnelle Ligue 1, Club Africain are seated in the bottom spot of the standings with 8 points.

Etoile Sahel are coming off a 1-2 defeat at the hands of CS Sfaxien. In that game, Etoile Sahel did take the lead just 9 points into this game, with Hamza Jelassi scoring from the spot. However, poor play saw them concede twice in that half, with Baraket Hmidi and Youssef Becha scoring for their opponents. In recent matches, Etoile Sahel have not had the best performances, losing to Esperance Tunis in one encounter while drawing Monastir and Stade Tunisien. In that run of games, Etoile Sahel's lone win was against Ahly Sfaxien in the Tunisia Cup. 

We have not seen one of the best performances from Club Africain in recent times like the last seasons. However, not all hope is lost, as they still have a shot at making it to the CAF Champions League. On the other hand, Etoile Sahel keep struggling each game, and I do not see them making a point here. Take Club Africain to win this game, but while the two teams have struggled defensively lately, we can expect this one to end with many goals, too.
