A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The CS Sfaxien fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Kairouan's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- CS Sfaxien have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (7) in Ligue 1
- Kairouan have the most conceded goals (57) in Ligue 1
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.
Sfaxien are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Kairouan are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.
