With the edgy opening game done it’s time for the second Ligue 1 meeting of the season. Ben Guerdane are eager to welcome Club Africain in front of their home fans.

Insights:
  • Ben Guerdane have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
  • Club Africain have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Club Africain's familiar surface at their own arena. When playing on artifical turf Club Africain have performed like this: Played seven matches earning 1 win, 2 draws and 4 defeats with the goal numbers 3-8 (scored/conceded).

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Performing as the home side in the previous season Ben Guerdane managed 8-3-2 (win-draw-lost) with 15 goals and 6 conceded. 0-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Ben Guerdane so far this season.

The Ben Guerdane crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Club Africain here at Stade Olympique de Radès.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Etoile du Sahel (1-5).
