Kinzumbi and Chaouat: The Two Aces CA is Counting on to Bring Victory from Métlaoui
The Press — A good win against JSO is now in the archives, as today's away game against ESMétlaoui is a different story.
A more complex match that requires more arguments and freshness is on the horizon. Fortunately, Benzarti can rely on his offensive assets, primarily the scorer Chaouat, who has made enormous progress since last season and has scored four times despite his teammates' average game volume.
Alongside him, another interesting offensive asset, Kinzumbi, who has not yet reached his best form (his runs and exploits in one-on-one duels are still awaited), but takes advantage of every opportunity to score or provide an assist. This duo will have to weigh heavily on Métlaoui's defense.
No major changes are expected compared to the starting eleven that played against JSO, as Benzarti likes to maintain a small group of players he works with. Yefreni, for example, will be stabilized in the goalkeeper role after a decent performance last Wednesday.
In defense, the quartet of Zaâlouni, Shili, Ben Abda, and Youssef (who will need to be careful not to venture too far from his zone and leave spaces) is likely to be maintained, with the possibility of Romdhane entering the game later on.
In midfield, despite criticism of Zemzmi (who does not have the profile of a defensive midfielder), he will still be there alongside Saydou Khan and Ait Malek. This match is a real test of truth for Benzarti and his players, who have let several points slip away in the standings.
The opponent is tenacious on their artificial turf home ground. Benzarti has not yet presented a flawless performance, but three points today will help him continue with more confidence and assurance. Other options, such as Mahmoud, Oune, or Mesmari, are available to reinforce the offensive sector, the first asset of the "Red and White" team.
In any case, there's no more room for ups and downs. The team is still in the construction phase and has not yet reached its best form.
