Riding the Wave of Victory, Monastirians Aim to Extend Winning Streak
The Press — The USM team will close out the first half of the championship this afternoon with an away game against Soliman in Bir Bouregba. While this match is not expected to be easy, it's also not overly difficult. Although the opponent of the day, Soliman, will put up a fight, they are still a beatable team. In the previous game, the ASS suffered a home defeat against the USBG with a score of 0-1. For the USM team, the goal is to end the first half of the season on a positive note by bringing back the three points from Bir Bouregba, with the aim of extending their winning streak. This would allow them to move up the ranks and closer to the leading pack, as they currently occupy fifth place in the standings with the same number of points as the CSS, which holds fourth place.
Key Players: Ben Youssef, Harzi, and Others
The team, led by coach Tarek Jarraya, is still basking in the glory of their recent 2-0 home win against the Kairouanais. They will be counting on the architects of this success, including Mehdi Ganouni and Fakhreddine Ben Youssef, as well as Yassine Amri and Aymen Harzi, to produce the goods and breach Soliman's defense. This afternoon, the USM coach is likely to field his usual starting lineup, with the same players who contributed to the previous win. However, he also has viable offensive alternatives who can make a difference, such as Malcom Hmidi, Ibrahim Gadiaga, Aziz Abid, and Brahim Souissi, as well as midfielders Alpha Stéphane Sidibé, Nassim Douihech, Cherif Bodian, and Chaim Djebali, who will be ready to step in as needed.
The incorporation of these players will depend on the course of events. In short, the Monastirian coach has all the cards in place to finish the first half of the season on a high note, which would allow him to approach the championship break with a strong morale boost.
Probable Lineup:
Hlaoui, Ghorbel, Miladi, Chikhaoui, Herch, Hadj Ali, Diané, Harzi, Amri, Ganouni, and Ben Youssef.
