An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 14th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Stade Gabésien and Gabès.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
