National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Tataouine or Chebba that keep their silverware dream alive.
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 Tataouine and Chebba.
It's quite the trip for Chebba when visiting Tataouine as the cities are 3400 kilometers apart.
Tataouine form and stats
5-3-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Tataouine so far this season.
Tataouine's last game was hosting CA Bizertin and winning 1-0. Before that, Tataouine drew at home versus Hammam-Lif.
This is expected to be a close game, with Tataouine perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tataouine as a small favourite), we find seven games. Tataouine has won four of these, drawn two and lost one.
Tataouine have scored 12 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Tataouine have conceded 13 goals.
Chebba form and stats
There's been little loot from Chebba's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 13 away games in the Ligue 1. Chebba only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws. Chebba has showed their ability to avoid defeat with six draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 30 days ago, in the Kairouan fixture. One point away has become something of a habit for Chebba who have played out draws in their last three away games.
There were no winners in Chebba's previous match, a Ligue 1 home game that ended 2-2 vs CS Sfaxien. Ahead of that match was the Ligue 1 away draw versus Ben Guerdane that ended 0-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chebba playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were one Chebba win, zero draws and zero defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Chebba as they have only managed to score 10 times from 13 away games in the league. 17 goals have been conceded by Chebba in these games.
