CS Sfaxien vs Etoile Sahel Prediction: Both teams are hunger for victory

This Championship Group match in the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 between CS Sfaxien and Etoile Sahel will be held at Stade Taïeb Mhiri. Both teams have encountered difficulties in securing victories in their recent matches. It remains uncertain whether there will be a winner in this fixture or if a draw will be deemed satisfactory by both teams.

In their recent matches leading up to this game, CS Sfaxien has struggled to secure a single win. The team faced defeats against Esperance Tunis and Monastir in their last five outings. However, during this stretch, CS Sfaxien managed to earn one point in matches against Monastir, Club Africain, and Stade Tunisien. Despite failing to score in these games, CS Sfaxien displayed strong defensive capabilities, conceding just two goals in the same number of matches. Their average goals scored per match for the current league season stands at 1. CS Sfaxien also demonstrates proficiency in ball possession, maintaining an average possession of 52.45% this season.

Etoile Sahel heads into this match with just one victory in their last five league games, which came against Slimane. Additionally, they suffered a defeat against Esperance Tunis, while three matches ended in draws against Stade Tunisien, Monastir, and Stade Tunisien. Throughout these encounters, Etoile Sahel scored four goals while conceding three. In their away matches, they averaged 1.25 goals scored per match and conceded 0.42. Etoile Sahel demonstrates strong ball possession, averaging 52.10% possession overall this season.

This upcoming match is anticipated to be fiercely competitive, with both teams striving hard to secure a crucial victory. However, considering the struggles of the hosts compared to the slightly better form of the visiting side, the match is expected to be more significant for the away team. Despite the challenging nature of the fixture, I believe the visiting side will be motivated to clinch a narrow victory on the road, especially considering their previous strong performances in meetings between these two teams.
