Etoile du Sahel vs US Tataouine Prediction: The home team seek their first win of the season

Stade Olympique de Sousse will be the venue for the round 3 encounter of the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 between Etoile du Sahel and US Tataouine. Heading into this game, the home team won the last fixture of this game. How will this one unfold?

Etoile du Sahel's last league game was against Monastir, and they lost 1-0. In that game, the 24th minute Aymen Harzi strike from the spot was the difference, giving their opponent maximum points. In the meantime, their opening day game against Olympique Beja also ended in a 0-1 defeat. Heading into this game, Etoile du Sahel have failed to win any of their last seven matches, losing four games while drawing three.

US Tataouine secured their first game of the season against CA Bizertin, securing a 2-0 win. In that game, we witnessed a goalless draw at halftime, but goals from Mohamed Ali Hosni and Nidhal Ben Salem were enough to seal maximum points for US Tataouine. However, prior matches to that win saw US Tataouine four consecutive matches, coming against Gafsa, Slimane, CA Bizertin, and Esperance Tunis. 

Etoile du Sahel are clear favorites here, and I expect them to take their chances after a shaky start to the season. While US Tataouine secured a win in their last game, being on the road will be a tough job to do for them. The two teams should have their chances, but Etoile du Sahel seem too good in this fixture and should take maximum points with goals in this one.
