Esperance Tunis vs AS Marsa Prediction: A win start expected for the home team

As the first week of the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 gets underway, Esperance Tunis will square off against AS Marsa at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi. The home club is a heavy favorite to take home the victory in this match, while the away squad, AS Marsa, is a significant underdog.

The previous league matches that Esperance Tunis participated in resulted in wins for the team over Olympique Béja, CS Sfaxien, and Tataouine, while the matchups against Etoile du Sahel and Club Africain each concluded in a tie for each of those matches. Although they conceded four goals to their opponents, Esperance Tunis was still able to come out on top with a score of 6-1. The odds are in favor of Esperance Tunis winning this match, and despite the fact that it is now a significant match, they will try to gain an edge over the freshly promoted team.

The newly promoted AS Marsa side will enter this encounter with the intention of getting off to a strong start in the first division. On the other hand, this group will enter the competition as huge underdogs, but they will nevertheless want to leave their mark and deliver a high-quality performance. AS Marsa comes into this season having won two of their five most recent matches against Gabès and Hammam-Lif, lost one to Kairouan, and played to a draw in two of their matches against CA Bizertin and Tataouine. During those games, the away team scored five goals while only allowing two to be scored against them.

AS Marsa and Esperance Tunis have played each other a total of 21 times over the course of the last three seasons, with Esperance Tunis coming out on top 13 times and AS Marsa taking home three victories. A total of five of the games were decided by a draw. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Esperance Tunis scored 33 goals, while AS Marsa only managed to score 18 goals.

Both clubs are likely to put in a significant amount of offensive effort in this match, so it ought to be an exciting one. On the other hand, Esperance Tunis are simply too good for this AS Marsa team that is visiting. Consequently, despite the fact that I feel the difference will be determined by the quality of the squad combined with previous experience in the league, I will be cheering for the home team to prevail. Also, because AS Marsa have a lot of holes in their defense, I anticipate a match with a number of different teams scoring goals.
