With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second CAF Champions League game of the season. ES Tunis look forward to welcoming JS Kabylie in front of their home support.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting JS Kabylie have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-6-5 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
JS Kabylie have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
