Competition: Tunisia Ligue 1
Competition: Thu 10.September
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stade de Ben Guerdane (6500 seats)

Ben Guerdane and Chebba have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Ligue 1.

Chebba could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ligue 1 game only three sleeps ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Chebba have to travel 3500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Guerdane are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Chebba is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Ben Guerdane form and stats

Ben Guerdane have collected 15 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 3-6-3. Ben Guerdane are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade de Guerdane with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Hammam-Lif match.

Guerdane faced defeat in their previous match, away at Club Africain (0-1). In the match before that, Ben Guerdane hosted Stade Tunisien and drew the game 2-2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Guerdane as they are travelling to their away game against Monastir in the Ligue 1. That match is two days after this one.

Guerdane are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. On the other hand, Guerdane have conceded 17 goals.

Chebba form and stats

There's been little loot from Chebba's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the Ligue 1. Chebba only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws. The Chebba manager B. Marchand is a generous human being, having led his team to four draws in a row during the last 24 days. Visiting Chebba has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Chebba delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Slimane (placed 9th) in their previous match; a Ligue 1 game. Before that, Chebba travelled to ES Tunis and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Slimane was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting CS Sfaxien in just two days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Chebba as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Chebba have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
