AS Marsa vs CS Sfaxien Prediction: Visiting team to take advantage of the newly promoted side

This round 2 encounter of the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 will take place at Stade Abdelaziz Chtioui, and it will feature a confrontation between freshly promoted AS Marsa and CS Sfaxien. AS Marsa could only see themselves lose on the road against Esperance Tunis in their first game of the season, while CS Sfaxien triumphed over Bizertin.

Upon their return to the premier division of the Tunisian league, AS Marsa did not have the most successful start to the season that they had hoped for. In spite of the fact that they will be playing on their home field, the host team will be hoping for nothing but a positive outcome heading into this match. AS Marsa was unable to hold off Esperance Tunis for very long during their game against the club. In the 43rd minute of play, Esperance Tunis's Oussema Bouguerra scored the game's solitary goal by putting the ball in the back of the net. On the other hand, thanks to their solid defensive performance, this team was able to stop their opponent from scoring in the second half. AS Marsa entered this match with a record of just two victories to their name, both of which came against ES Djerba and Bembla. However, they were defeated by Oued Ellil and Gafsa in other matches that were played not too long ago. Ten goals have been scored by AS Marsa in their most recent five matches, but they have also given up six goals in that span.

CS Sfaxien got off to a strong start in this year's league competition, and the away team will try their best to carry that momentum into their match against AS Marsa here. The first game of the season for CS Sfaxien was played at home against Bizertin, and they were victorious by a score of 2-0 thanks to goals scored by Amine Haboubi and Ashraf Habbessi. Haboubi gave CS Sfaxien the lead in the 37th minute of the first half, and Habbessi put the game away in the 79th minute. However, despite the fact that they will be traveling here, this team will continue to have faith that they can maintain their momentum and keep their spirits high. CS Sfaxien are currently in first place in the Group B standings of the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 heading into this match. In addition, going into this competition, CS Sfaxien now has a record of two victories, two losses, and one tie, all of which were played out versus Esperance Tunis. During that time period, they had a total of four goals for and two goals against.

AS Marsa and CS Sfaxien have a relatively solid head-to-head history, as they have played 18 times in the previous seasons, with AS Marsa winning 2 games and CS Sfaxien winning 9 games. Overall, the H2H history between these two teams is pretty solid. There were seven games that were decided by a draw. The head-to-head matchups between the two teams resulted in a total of 12 goals for AS Marsa, while CS Sfaxien managed to score 26 goals.

The competition is expected to be close, and both teams are undoubtedly rooting for themselves to emerge victorious. However, AS Marsa will be playing at home, but based on their current form and the quality of their roster, they are not in prime position to win this match. On the other hand, CS Sfaxien did display some of their potential in the first game of the season, and as a result, we can anticipate quite a few outstanding plays from them in this match. Therefore, a wager on the away team to come out on top In addition, despite the fact that the home team's offense is not performing particularly well at the moment, their defensive effort deserves credit. As a result, I do not anticipate more than two goals being scored in this match because CS Sfaxien will not have an easy time scoring goals as they play on the road.
