Etoile du Sahel vs EGS Gafsa Prediction: The Red and White can’t afford to drop points on their ground

Etoile du Sahel will face off against EGS Gafsa at the Olympic Stadium of Sousse on Saturday. The Red and White are in dire straits following two games without a breakthrough, and I cannot but feel for the visitors who won’t be able to match their tempo in this fixture.

Last five games: DWWDD

The Red and White have now failed to win their last two matches, moving them from the top to the second spot on the log. Etoile du Sahel have drawn the joint most games on the table as they trail the league leaders with three points. After their (0-0) against Olympique Beja at home, Etoile du Sahel were unable to impress against US Ben Guerdane. Both games end in a toothless draw, and they can’t afford to drop points here.

The Red and White are one of the most successful teams in the Tunisian League. The Red and White have had a fantastic run so far as they prepare for the CAF Champions League group phase later this month.

The newly promoted team might be on their way to the second division as they’ve managed one win since their promotion. EGS Gafsa failed to win a game for the third time this season as they bowed to a defeat on their ground to Club Africain. EGS Gafsa maintained their spot on the log, picking up six points from a combined twenty-one. EGS Gafsa have lost once and drawn twice away from home, scoring twice while conceding three goals.

Etoile du Sahel have won seven and drawn four over their previous eleven meetings. The Red and White have not really impressed on their ground this season and must be careful against EGS Gafsa, who might be out for revenge. Etoile du Sahel are expected to bounce back here, having gone two games without a win. Although, the visitors always play their best game on the road, with just one defeat resulting from a missed penalty. Etoile du Sahel's win and under 3.5 goals is our favorite pick, as we are not sure the visitors will concede much.

The game could end in a home win before the break for 2.14.

A correct score of (2-0) might surface here for 5.80.

Good luck!
