The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Club Africain are in the 5th position while the guesting Métlaoui worry at 11th.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Métlaoui have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-5-19 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.
Club Africain form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stade Olympique de Radès as Club Africain, who have the most clean sheets (13) in Ligue 1, have scored 11 goals to get 19 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 1 are 6-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Africain are confident in defense, having played 270 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Club Africain shared the glory with Monastir in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Heartbreak before that as Africain lost 0-1 at Monastir's place.
The manager L. Dridi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Kairouan in only two days.
Africain are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. Africain have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

Métlaoui go into this game after a win, the home game against Stade Tunisien that ended 2-1.
A new game in only two days for Métlaoui, the Ligue 1 home match versus Chebba. Busy days.
