Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Etoile du Sahel in 6th and Chebba in 9th place.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ligue 1. Thankfully the previous game, versus CS Sfaxien, was also a home game here at Stade Olympique de Sousse. The away team is better rested.
This pitch has grass, which is not Chebba's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Chebba have performed like this: Played six matches resulting in 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats with the goal stats 5-8 (scored/conceded).
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Etoile du Sahel form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Etoile du Sahel have to build on here at Stade Olympique de Sousse in the Ligue 1.
Etoile du Sahel drew their last game, also a home match. CS Sfaxien (placed 3rd) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Ahead of that match, Etoile du Sahel won a home game hosting Platinum (2-0).
The Etoile du Sahel fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Etoile du Sahel are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade Olympique de Sousse in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 7 matches.
Chebba form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Chebba so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Chebba's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Chebba failed to get anything from their last game, a Ligue 1 home match vs ES Tunis (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against CS Sfaxien wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
Chebba find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. Chebba have conceded 12 goals in these games.
