Season ticket holders at Stade de Zrig haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Stade Gabésien languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Club Africain will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Club Africain have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 5-4-3 (win-draw-loss) from twelve matches.
