Esperance ST vs CA Bizertin Prediction: A win is nonnegotiable for the hosts

On Saturday, Esperance ST will square off against CA Bizertin in a must-win game at the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium. Esperance ST will strive to secure their third win of the season in what seems to be a disastrous start. 

Last five games: WWDDL

After a run of three games without a breakthrough, Esperance ST cut ties with their Portuguese coach, Miguel Cardoso. His reign of twenty games with Al Taraji ended abruptly after his outstanding achievement for Esperance. In his entire twenty-five games, he managed just three defeats, with one of them against Zarzis a few days ago. Esperance ST conceded once, which was enough to secure the maximum points for their newly promoted opponent. 

The Northern African team, who had a fantastic season, winning the Tunisian League title and finishing second in the CAF Champions League, have had one of their worst starts. 

Esperance ST have won twice, lost once and drawn twice this season. 

Last five matches: DLDLD

The Caravans are yet to register a win since the start of this campaign; more recently, they settled for a (1-1) stalemate on their ground against Matlaoui. After 360 minutes of football without a goal, CA Bizertin found the back of the net in the 26th minute but conceded minutes later to split points. 

CA Bizertin ended their relegation/promotion campaign in the second spot, three points behind Olympique Beja. CA Bizertin, who failed to make the championship round, were also knocked out in the final of the Tunisian Cup. 

Imed Ben Younes's men have been inconsistent on the road, losing their last two matches conceding three without scoring. 

Over their last twenty meetings, CA Bizertin have managed two wins while Esperance ST have recorded sixteen wins and two games ending in a draw. Esperance ST coach Miguel Cardoso, ranked as one of the best managers on the continent last season, has been sacked after three games without a win. Esperance ST form have nosedived lately, heading here with two stalemates and a defeat. They’ll host a winless CA Bizertin on their ground tomorrow, and the maximum points aren’t negotiable. In fact, they will strive to get off to a flyer here and with the quality of their team, expect a goal before the break for 1.72.

We anticipate a win and under 3.5 goals for the host here for 1.76.

This game will end in a correct score of (3-0) for 8.50.

Good luck!
