Stade Tunisien vs CS SfaxienPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Stade Hedi-Enneifer stages the opening round between Stade Tunisien and CS Sfaxien. The hosts ended last season with a 1-0 at AS Gabes and a goalless draw with US Ben Guerdane, and before those two they went four games without a win, three defeats and a draw. CS Sfaxien took three wins from their last four competitive fixtures, among them 3-1 against ES Sahel and 3-0 away at AS Marsa, and in August they beat San-Pédro 1-0 in a friendly. The six previous meetings have been tight: four draws, three of them goalless, one win each and a 1-0 for CS Sfaxien in the most recent. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
