It's early days in the Ligue 1 and both Métlaoui and Kairouan are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- Métlaoui has the most clean sheets (2) at home in Ligue 1
- Kairouan has the the worst goal difference (-5) in Ligue 1
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Ligue 1 game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Olympique Béja. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Kairouan have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-6-9 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.
