National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Slimane or Ben Guerdane that keep their silverware dream alive.
The visiting Ben Guerdane played their last game only four days ago, a Tunisia Cup match. That game was also an away game, at Rejiche. 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.
Slimane form and stats
Slimane was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Tunisia Cup.Slimane have performed here at Stade de Soliman this season with 8 wins from 13 Ligue 1 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 3 games and lost 2. Slimane has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stade de Soliman. We remember; it was Ben Guerdane.
Slimane's last game was hosting Stade Tunisien and winning 2-1.
