Back in their Ribat Stronghold, USM will attempt to return to winning ways against a tough JSO side

The Press — Following a goalless draw against CSS in Mhiri, USM will necessarily try to recover the lost points this afternoon against JSO. At the Mustapha Ben Jannet stadium, Montassar Louhichi's team will face an Omrani side in good health, as evidenced by their ranking and their last overall performance in the previous round against Zliza.

The Blues will therefore take to their favorite pitch this afternoon with the desire to validate their position. What about the expected lineup? Louhichi is not a fan of rotation or turnover, but apart from certain constants in the team, he can change his approach in attack, especially. However, only one change is expected in defense.

Zeguei's absence

After being sanctioned in the 8th matchday, key player Fabrice Zeguei will be absent, and Aboubakar Benga is likely to replace him, forming a partnership with Raed Chikhaoui. Another option is for Zamourri to move into the axis, while the Cameroonian Benga will start from the bench.

In defense, Rayan Azzouz will occupy the right flank, and Youssef Herch or Seif Saber will take the left side. Moving on to midfield, Louhichi is expected to keep the same combination with the two midfielders, Omar Moises and Yassine Dridi, alongside strategist Moez Haj Ali. Finally, in attack, it will be up to right winger Amri, left winger Aymen Harzi, and striker Gadiaga to "besiege" JSO's defense and hope to quickly find a weakness.
