Tataouine vs Esperance Tunis Prediction: Squad’s quality will be the difference

This round of matches in the Playoff Group A matches in the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 between Tataouine and Esperance Tunis will take place at the Stade Néjib Khattab. While the squad playing at home is having trouble winning games, the visiting club from Esperance Tunis will keep working toward qualifying for the CAF Champions League.

Tataouine entered this match having not won a single one of their previous five contests. On the other hand, the home team lost to Etoile du Sahel, Ben Guerdane, Olympique Béja, and CS Sfaxien, while their match against Club Africain ended in a draw. Tataouine only managed to score three goals in those encounters, while they allowed 16 goals. During the current league season, Tataouine has scored 0.93 goals on average per game they have played. Tataouine has an impressive ability to maintain control of the ball, as evidenced by their season-long average of 51.00%. Tataouine are currently in last place in the Group A standings with just 4 points after playing in all 13 of their team's matches leading up to this encounter.

Esperance Tunis comes into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against Olympique Béja and CS Sfaxien. They tied Etoile du Sahel and Club Africain in two of their most recent five matches, but they lost to Monastir in a game that ended 3-2 away from home. The away team, on the other hand, was responsible for five goals scored while only allowing three to be scored against them in those matches. When playing away from home, Esperance Tunis had a goal differential of 0.57 while scoring 1.79 goals per game on average. As of this point in the season, the away team has been issued a total of 26 yellow cards and 2 red cards for disciplinary reasons. This season, Esperance Tunis have maintained a very respectable ball possession percentage of 62.86% on average across the board.

Tataouine and Esperance Tunis have played one another a total of 11 times over the course of the previous three seasons, with Esperance Tunis emerging victorious on eight of those occasions. There were a total of two games that finished in ties. In the head-to-head matchups, Tataouine scored 6 goals, while Esperance Tunis was able to score 21.

The home team's talent level is simply not high enough to compete successfully against a team like this that is in the race for top place. Also, despite the fact that the away team, Esperance Tunis, had just played their previous match to a tie, I anticipate a far stronger performance from them here, which will result in a victory for the away team. In addition, the home team is likely to allow too many goals to be scored since they are too vulnerable on both ends of this encounter. On the other hand, Esperance Tunis have been in great form defensively, so it is expected that only the away team will score goals.
