With their 15 point advantage in the league table, Stade Tunisien fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Kairouan.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Stade Tunisien form and stats
Stade Tunisien have performed here at Stade Hedi Ennaifer this season with 5 wins from 9 Ligue 1 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 1. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Stade Tunisien to get some points in this home game.
The fans are hoping that Tunisien will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Ligue 1 game against Métlaoui (placed 11th). Heartbreak before that as Stade Tunisien lost 1-3 at EGS Gafsa's place.
Tunisien are traveling soon after this match as the Ligue 1 match at Tataouine awaits in three days.
Tunisien are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. Tunisien are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade Hedi Ennaifer in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 9 matches.
Kairouan form and stats
Kairouan, who have the most conceded goals (33) in Ligue 1, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 2-0-7 (9 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Kairouan, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team. It's looking increasingly bleak for Kairouan who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. CA Bizertin was the last time a defeat was avoided.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Ligue 1 home defeat versus Etoile du Sahel with 1-3 on the scoreboard. The game before that, in the Tunisia Cup, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Club Africain.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Club Africain in just three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kairouan as they have only managed to score 5 times from 9 away games in the league. For Kairouan, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
