Etoile du Sahel vs Olympique Béja Prediction: The Red and White will avenge the previous season's opening-day defeat against the visitors

Etoile du Sahel will square off against Olympique Béja at the Stade Olympique de Sousse Stadium on Saturday. The Red and White will look to return to glory after a poor season, and they could be at an advantage after failing to play in the continental tournament. 

The Red and White had one of their worst seasons ever, finishing fifth in the championship round. They failed to win any of their ten games in the round, sharing the spoils seven times.

The Red and White are among the most successful teams in the Tunisian League but have struggled in recent seasons. 

Etoile du Sahel head here with a new coach, Hammadi Daou, who was the former Stade Tunisien manager. They have also signed some players in the summer and are expected to finish strong this season.

The guests ended their campaign in the relegation round, winning the group after securing thirty points from fourteen matches. Olympique Beja were eliminated in the semifinals of the Tunisian Cup, suffering a defeat against Stade Tunisien on their ground. 

Olympique Beja have lost once over their last five games, and they’ll be poised to prove themselves in this campaign.

Etoile du Sahel have won seven while Olympique Beja have recorded two wins and five games ending in a tie. It’s hard to tell how strong both teams are this new season; however, with the signings the hosts have made this season, we expect them to be stronger than their opponent.

Etoile du Sahel have not won against the guests over their previous three matches, but we are trusting them to amass all the points here for 1.65.

We think the hosts will score more than a goal here for 1.97.  

The hosts will get a first-half victory here for 2.20.

Good luck!
