Esperance ST vs Olympique Beja Prediction: Esperance ST will win the trophy

ON SUNDAY, Esperance ST will square off against Olympique Beja in a must-win Tunisia Cup final at the Stade Olympique de Rades. Esperance ST will strive to secure this trophy as it’s their only hope of winning silverware this season.

The Blood and Gold are one of the best sides in the league this season, despite their slow start. They are five points off the top spot with fourteen points from a combined twenty-one. Esperance ST are the most successful team in this competition and have won it fifteen (15) times. After knocking out Stade Tunisien on (3-2) aggregate, they qualified for this round.

Esperance ST have not been performing well in this competition since 2016; however, this is their only hope of winning a trophy this season, and we trust they’ll maximise the opportunity.

The visitors head here after knocking out Sportif Sfaxien in the quarterfinals. Sfaxien struck twice while Olympique fought back to draw level at full-time. Olympique won on penalties to secure their first-ever semi-final playoff. In the semi-finals, Olympique Beja stood their ground against Club Africain as they won (2-3) on penalties.

Olympique haven’t been bad in recent games; they have won two, drawn twice and lost once in the last five games. Olympique have won the title before and will go all out to upset the home side.

Over their last twelve meetings, Olympique Beja have won twice while Esperance ST have recorded eight wins and two games ending in a draw. Olympique Beja defeated Esperance ST in their most recent meeting, and that was their first in ten games. It was an unfortunate result for the champions, who were juggling three competitions. Esperance ST have been bad in recent games, but with the new coach, we expect a spark from them. Olympique Beja won’t be a walkover; however, we expect Esperance ST to win here for 1.43.

We also expect both sides to get a goal here for 2.20.

Both sides might settle for a half-time draw here for 2.05.

Good luck!
