After Suffering Their First Home Defeat, Marsa Must React Against Béja
The pressure is mounting on Marsa after two consecutive defeats against Stade Tunisien and Espérance. The latest loss has left a bitter taste for coach Ameur Derbal, who stated: "We had a specific training session, but unfortunately, its application on the field did not meet my expectations. The score does not reflect the volume of play we developed and the opportunities we created. It's frustrating."
Derbal emphasized the importance of the upcoming match: "We will continue to work to improve. We must not lose against our direct opponents, and Béja is one of them."
Traidi, Adejoh, and Others to Make a Difference
To counter Béja, Marsa has assets to capitalize on. Despite suffering a heavy defeat last Wednesday, the team has players who can make a difference against opponents of the same caliber. Midfielders like Omar Traidi, Anouar Jouini, and Nigerian Philip Adejoh have provided solutions to the attackers and have not hesitated to take their actions to the end, creating danger.
This match is a direct confrontation for both teams, with the goal of moving away from the relegation zone. Marsa, currently 13th with 7 points, will face the last-placed team in the championship, with only a two-point advantage. A single misstep, such as a defeat, could send Marsa to the bottom of the standings.
Probable Lineup
The probable lineup for Marsa includes:
- Hlel
- Chaouech
- Karoui
- Arfaoui
- Jebali
- Gneba
- Khaloui
- Adejoh
- Traidi (Kalu)
- Jouini (Hichri)
- Hadhri
The match against Béja is crucial for Marsa, and the team must react to avoid falling further behind in the standings. With the right strategy and player performance, Marsa can turn the tide and move away from the relegation zone.
