EGS Gafsa vs Esperance ST Prediction: The guests are well-motivated for this matchup, and this game won’t deny us goals

On Wednesday, EGS Gafsa will face off against Esperance ST in their attempt to secure their second win of the season at the Gafsa Measb Stadium. The guests are unbeaten against EGS Gafsa, and they’re obviously the favourite here, even though it won’t come easy. 

Last five games: WDLLL

The hosts continue to hug the bottom of the log following their slim (1-0) loss against CA Bizertin. EGS Gafsa, who defended well and was almost jubilating to have won a point, suffered a blow in the 91st minute when they conceded a penalty. The result means they have now lost nine games since promotion. 

EGS Gafsa have had a difficult start to the season as they head here with a win in eleven games. EGS Gafsa have scored six and conceded nineteen times since the beginning of the season. 

EGS Gafsa managed one win on their ground in over five matches.

Last five games: WWDWD

Al Taraji failed to close the gap at the top as they settled for a share of the spoils against their arch-rival Club Africain. It was a poor defensive effort from Esperance ST, who conceded with just eight minutes into the game. However, goals from Brazilian Yan Sasse and Mohamed Tougai ensured they secured a halftime win. 

Esperance ST couldn’t maintain their pace as Club Africain scored another to split points in a (2-2) stalemate at home. 

Normalcy returned as Esperance ST played six league games without defeat, keeping three clean sheets. They presently sit in fifth place on the log, seven points behind the top of the log. 

Esperance ST have won two, lost once and drawn two games over their previous five away fixtures. 

Over their previous eight meetings, Esperance ST have won five and drawn three against EGS Gafsa. The home team have been in terrible form this campaign, and even though they try to play defensively, they have lost three consecutive league games. EGS Gafsa have also received two red cards in their last three games, and they are running out of quality to compete against the top teams in the division. After a glitch against their arch-rival at home, Esperance ST will leave no stone unturned as they vow to secure the maximum points here. 

EGS Gafsa won’t be able to shut out the guests, and I think Esperance ST will most definitely secure all the points and score before the break here for 1.87.

EGS Gafsa are an average team and if everything goes as planned for Esperance ST, they’ll likely win and score more than a goal here for 1.80.

A correct score of (0-3) might surface here for 7.10.

Good luck!
