Club Africain vs Esperance ST Prediction: Tunis Derby to end in favour of the home team

Club Africain and Esperance ST are set to clash once again in the Tunisian Premier League Championship Round. The two teams are considered to be the biggest rivals in Tunisian football, and their matches are always highly anticipated.

Last five games: WDWWL

Said Saibi men have commenced the league in great form but head here after their first defeat on the road. Club Africain conceded a penalty just before the break, which was enough for Etoile du Sahel to cart off all the points. Before the game, they were on a four-game unbeaten run, scoring six while conceding just once. Club Africain have been a top side in the Tunisian league but have declined massively in recent years. They will be hopeful of returning to intercontinental football this season.

Last five games: WDLWL

The Blood and Gold have not been able to replicate last season’s form and have managed just two victories since the commencement of this round. Esperance ST lost for the second time on the road against Sportif Sfaxien. The home side scored thirteen minutes into the game, while Esperance failed to convert their penalty during the game. The visitors have scored two times in their last five matches, picking up seven points from a combined fifteen. Esperance ST are the most successful team in this competition and have won it fifteen (15) times.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Looking at the head-to-head statistics, the two teams have played each other a total of one sixty times in all competitions, with Esperance ST holding the upper hand with sixty-five wins, while Club Africain have won forty-one matches. Fifty-four of their games ended in a draw.

In the last five encounters between the two teams, Esperance ST have won twice and three games ended in a share of the spoils.

The visitors are going through tough times and are missing some key players. Esperance ST have managed to score two times in their last five matches and have lost their previous two away games. This is a Derby game, and we expect them to put in more work this time. Club Africain have not been able to beat their arch-rival in their previous six meetings and will see this game as the perfect opportunity to win. We expect the home side to win or draw and score less than a goal here for 2.02.

Both sides will be pleased with a point before the break 1.85.

It might prove difficult, but the home side are the favourite here; bet on a home win either half for 2.40.

Good luck!
