Esperance Tunis vs US Tataouine Prediction: An easy start is expected for the reigning champions

Last season's champion, Esperance Tunis, will play US Tataouine in round 1 of the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 at Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi. Hedging into this game, the home team is the clear favorite, while the road team is the underdog. How will this game end? Below is a match preview and betting opportunities. 

Esperance Tunis won the league last season, and in this new one, they hope to build on that success. In the regular season, Esperance Tunis finished top of Group B with 32 points from 12 matches, scoring 20 goals and conceding 5. However, in the championship group, Esperance Tunis had 24 points from 10 games, scoring 13 goals and conceding 7. In the meantime, in this new season, Esperance Tunis won two matches, lost one and drew two. 

US Tataouine will enter the new season hoping for a better result, and they will undoubtedly approach this game with their best squad. Last season, US Tataouine finished the regular season seated 6th with 9 points. However, in the relegation group, US Tataouine did well to accumulate 21 points from 14 matches, leaving them seated 4th. However, their last matches into the season saw this team win one while suffering defeats in four other games. 

Esperance Tunis are just way ahead of US Tataouine in this fixture, and looking at how the past meetings of this fixture have ended, this one does not look like it won't go their way. Looking at the winning chances, Esperance Tunis are clear and without doubt, I expect them to be decisive on both ends of the field and win with a number of goals.
