Etoile du Sahel vs Espérance ST Prediction: It is a game of few chances and a wrong time to play a Derby game of caliber

Etoile du Sahel will face off against the uninspiring Esperance ST at the Sousse Olympic Stadium On Sunday in a bid to pick up their first win against the guests 202. Both teams have been below par since the start of this campaign, and this does not seem to be the right time for such a competitive Derby match. 

Last five games: LWDLD

The Red and White form continues to nosedive as they march here without a win against ten-man ES Metlaoui on the road. Etoile du Sahel, who went into the game with the aim of recovering from their home defeat against Stade Tunisien, failed to convert their chances as they settled for (0-0) stalemate on the road. 

For a team as big as Etoile du Sahel, this has to be their worst start to the season in a long time.

The hosts, who had one of their worst seasons ever, finishing fifth in the championship round, have started their season poorly. 

Etoile du Sahel are among the most successful teams in the Tunisian League but have struggled in recent seasons. 

Etoile du Sahel have managed one win over their previous twelve home games in all competitions. 

Last five games: WDDLD

For the very first time since the league has been on record, Esperance ST failed to win any of their last four league matches. It’s a run that’s been marred with lots of missed chances and an inability to maintain their momentum in games. Esperance ST head here with another stalemate on their ground against an opponent that are yet to win since the season began. Esperance ST have managed two wins in six starts, scoring eight and conceding five. Since cutting ties with their Portuguese coach, Miguel Cardoso, Esperance ST are still without a coach. 

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 once, drawn a game, and lost once over their last three games on the road. 

Head-to-Head Statistics 

The two teams have played each other twenty times in recent seasons, with Esperance ST holding the upper hand with twelve wins, while Etoile du Sahel have won two matches and six games ending in a draw. 

Esperance ST are extremely timid at the moment, playing without passion and bite. They have been below par and are without a coach. At the same time, Etoile du Sahel have a terrible start to the season and have managed just a win in over twelve home matches. 

The match is expected to be a tightly contested affair, with both teams having much to play for. Esperance ST will be hoping to flip the script and take a step closer to winning here, while Etoile du Sahel will be looking to take advantage of their guests; we are trusting Esperance to win or draw and score less than two goals for 1.60.

Esperance ST can't afford to lose here after four games without a breakthrough, and we expect them to take all the points for 2.13.

Overall, this promises to be an exciting match between two of the best teams in Tunisia football; bet on halftime stalemate for 1.72.

Good luck!
