Esperance ST vs JS Omrane Prediction: A win is nonnegotiable for the hosts

Esperance ST will hope to secure a back-to-back league win when they face off against JS Omrane at the Hammadi Agrebi Stadium on Sunday. The hosts, who have had one of their worst starts to the season, will strive to close the gap at the top, while the guests will be keen to end their run of three games without a breakthrough. 

Last five games: LDWWD

Al Taraji couldn’t maintain their momentum as they settled for a (1-1) share of the spoils against US Ben Guerdane on the road. Esperance ST conceded with just sixteen minutes on the pitch and was on the losing end at the break. However, they changed the game's pace and got the equaliser in the 69th minute. Unfortunately, they were wasteful and couldn’t convert their chances, splitting points against a side they would normally defeat. 

Normalcy returned as Esperance ST played three games without defeat, keeping a clean sheet in one. They presently sit in sixth place on the log, five points behind the top of the log. 

Esperance ST have won twice and drawn two games over their previous four home matches.

The hosts settled for another share of the spoils as they couldn’t penetrate their opponents' defence. JS Omran,e who had a winnable game were below par in a toothless stalemate at home against ES Metlaoui. Before then, they had settled for a tie against a robust Stade Tunisien team on the road. 

JS Omrane have been solid defensively over their last three games, even though it was at the mercy of Stade Tunisien's missed chances and the inability of ES Metlaoui in front of goal. JS Omrane have had a mixed start to the season, losing three and winning three games while settling for three stalemates. JS Omrane have won once, drawn once, and lost two games on the road this season. 

Coach Laurentiu Reghecampf has got Esperance firing again as they have now won twice and drawn a game in all competitions since his arrival. They keep building their momentum in each game and we are confident they’ll be at their peak in this encounter.

They’ll face off against a side who have kept three consecutive clean sheets and I’m backing the hosts to maintain their pace. I also think they’ll at least win before the break here for 1.73.

Esperance ST are yet to score more than three goals in the league since the season began, so I’ll go for a home win and under 3.5 goals here for 1.83.

This game might end in a correct score of (3-0) for 6.20.

Good luck!
