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

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

2 - 3 - 9 with 12-24. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Stade Tunisien when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Stade Tunisien play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

Tunisien are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Ben Guerdane form and stats

The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Ben Guerdane at their home stadium (Stade de Ben Guerdane) is 3 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats. With seven home Ligue 1 games in a row without a win, the Guerdane fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Hammam-Lif game long ago, can be stopped today.

F. Ouji was the last player to score a league goal for Ben Guerdane and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Guerdane haven't scored in 180 minutes.

Guerdane lost their last game at Etoile du Sahel (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Guerdane lost 0-4 at home to CS Sfaxien.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Guerdane have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn zero and lost four.

The Guerdane fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. Ben Guerdane's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
