The Blood and Gold side are the most successful team in the Tunisia Professional League, with thirty-one (31) league titles. They have won the Tunisia Cup fifteen times while securing the Tunisia Super Cup six times. They have triumphed in the CAF Champions League four times and are the second most successful side in the competition's history.
Esperance ST had a rough start to the season but have bounced back just in time for their CAF campaign. They sit at the top of the Tunisian Group A league with nineteen points from a possible twenty-one.
Etoile du Sahel (Tunisia)
The Red and White are among the best teams in the Tunisian League. Etoile du Sahel won the CAF Championship once in 2007 but have failed to make their mark since then. Etoile du Sahel knocked out Moroccan champions to secure their ticket to the group phase. However, they have struggled to win games in the league, with three wins and two draws in their last five matches.
The Red and White are a group of young and experienced players who’ll definitely show class here.
