CS Sfaxien vs Stade Tunisien Prediction: Expecting both teams to be satisfied with a draw

CS Sfaxien and Stade Tunisien will square it off at the Stade Taïeb Mhiri. Ahead of this game, both teams won their last league game. Which of them keeps things rolling here?

CS Sfaxien got the best of Club Africain last weekend, securing a 1-3 win on the road. In that game, Baraket Hmidi, Youssef Becha, and Alaa Ghram all scored for CS Sfaxien. However, it is worth noting that prior encounters to that win ended in zero wins for CS Sfaxien in as many as eight consecutive matches. In that run, CS Sfaxien lost three encounters, while five ended in draws. In the pool for a spot in the CAF competitions, CS Sfaxien is seated in the fourth spot with 8 points, one point below Champions League qualification.

Stade Tunisien's last match was against Esperance Tunis, and in what was top-level play from this side, they secured a win. In a game that ended 2-0, we witnessed the first half end goalless. Still, with two goals in four minutes in the second half, Stade Tunisien secured maximum points, with Youssef Oumarou and Marouane Sahraoui both scoring for this side. In the meantime, Stade Tunisien now boast of an unbeaten run of six games into this game, winning two and drawing four.

Both teams were brilliant last weekend with strong performances, and we can expect top play from them here as well. However, the road team looks more consistent, and while they come in as underdogs, it is tough to confidently back them. On the other hand, CS Sfaxien have the most success in this fixture, but they are not at a good level now. This should be a tight one at the end, but I fancy this game with few goals, ending in a draw.
