Etoile Faces CSS with Optimism and Confidence in the Classico
The Press — Despite the absences of Guinean Omar Bah, who is recovering, midfielder Jean-Cédric Gbo, who is suspended, and Ben Choug, who still has to serve a one-match suspension, Mohamed Ali Nafkha has other assets up his sleeve to take on the challenge. On an upward curve, ESS will seek to consolidate its positive streak of 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 championship matches. Today, a new chapter begins with the Foued Kacem era, who has a large credit in Sousse to oversee the club's destiny and steer it to safe harbor.
Slight Remodeling
Tactically, now faithful to the 4-3-3 flat formation to the detriment of the 4-2-3-1, Coach Nafkha should not overthink, putting the in-form players and the most competitive ones of the moment. On this subject, a ranking of players with a strong impact and great influence on the Etoile game has released its Top 5, after 14 rounds of the championship. Thus, the offensive assets Aouani and Anan are in the top spots, ahead of the defensive players, Ghedamsi and Hnid.
Therefore, the starting lineup will consist of Sabri Ben Hassen in goal, behind 4 defenders, namely Omija, despite a new yellow card in Bizerte, Hnid, Ghedamsi, and Naouali. Unless he launches Ahmed Horchani or relaunches Ferjani. In midfield, the coach will have to "improvise" by relaunching Chouchane or Ouertani alongside Ben Maâzouz and Al Glayeb. Finally, up front, Aouani and Anan are starters with Cristo, who is getting back on track, while the lanky Senghor is also a good card to play.
