ES Tunis form and stats
Perfect Ligue 1 season at home so far for ES Tunis 3 wins from 3 appearances. 3W-1D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the CAF Champions League for ES Tunis. ES Tunis haven’t lost a game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus CA Bizertin, 195 days ago. ES Tunis has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here. We remember; it was CA Bizertin.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Moez Ben Cherifia not having conceded a league goal in 234 minutes.
ES Tunis are returning here after visiting Al Sadd in a FIFA Club World Cup game and winning with a 6-2 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Al Hilal (0-1).
As mentioned above, ES Tunis "killed" Al Sadd in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Hamdou Elhouni was absolutely essential when ES Tunis beat Al Sadd 6-2, scoring 3 goals.
