A Serious Test for Etoile and its Defense
The upcoming match will be a serious test for Etoile and its defense, which will have to contain the attacks of the "Sang et Or" team that has recently regained serenity and confidence.
Uncertainty Surrounds Etoile's Solidity
Despite three consecutive matches without a defeat, this Classico is announced with many uncertainties about the solidity and consistency of Etoile's game. ESS will try to achieve an exploit in Radès, to obtain a positive result, but if the defense can hold up, there are doubts about the ability of the midfield and especially the attack to pose a threat.
With Senghor still timid, Dhaoui still searching for himself, and the young Chaâbani still being discovered, there is concern. Unless midfielders Ben Maâzouz, who has been revitalized, or Al Qalib, who has been quite demonstrative, come up with a big game. Clearly, it will take a great Etoile performance to end EST's invincibility streak, which has lasted for 4 years.
A Turning Point for Nafkha
Today, coach Mohamed Ali Nafkha has the opportunity to break the Indian sign against EST. While waiting for a favorable outcome this afternoon, the name of the future coach continues to fuel discussions. Recently, the name of Ammar Souayah has been mentioned, alongside Bilel Dziri and Mohamed Sahli.
Regarding today's match, one of the major uncertainties is related to the expected performance of the attack, which has been severely weakened by the double suspension of Aouani and Anan. With Senghor in poor form or not starting, the entire attack would have to be rebuilt. This speaks for itself...
In defense, there are no major concerns with the sparkling form of Ghedamsi and Hnid, who are both reassuring. The probable composition should include Ben Hassen in goal, a five-man defense with Ghedamsi, Dagdoug, Hnid, Omija, and Naouali, or possibly Khadhraoui. In midfield, Ben Choug, Chouchane, and Ben Maâzouz are expected to start. In attack, Senghor, Diao, or Cristo may feature.
