Leaders of Group B Face Crucial Matches
The two leaders of Group B, Progrès de Sakiet Eddaier and Stayda, will have to contend with the opposition of Aigle de Jelma, who are fighting to stay in the league, and ASK, who are concerned with the promotion battle.
Aftermath of Group A Matches
Following the completion of the scheduled matches in Group A, except for the last match between Association Mégrine Sport and SC Ben Arous, which is set to take place tomorrow, the focus shifts to Group B, where there is a lot at stake at the top, with places to be taken and a relegation battle that is already grabbing the attention of several teams. Some clubs, who are relatively safe, can afford to take a risk without too much consequence.
Key Matches in Group B
- Stayda vs. AS Kasserine: In Gabès, co-leaders Stayda host AS Kasserine, who are second, four points behind the leaders. This is the match of the group, with significant consequences.
- Aigle de Jelma vs. Progrès Sportif de Sakiet Eddaier: The other leader, Progrès Sportif de Sakiet Eddaier, travels to Jelma to face Aigle de Jelma, who are already fighting for survival in the league. The PSSE, who have been a sensation in L2 so far, must validate their position in Jelma against a team that is desperate to stay in the league.
- Jendouba Sport vs. EGS Gafsa: Another crucial match pits Jendouba Sport, who are third, against EGS Gafsa, who are just below the podium. The outcome of this match will determine the immediate future of both teams, who are both contenders for promotion.
- US Ksour Essef vs. Sporting Moknine: US Ksour Essef, an ambitious outsider, will host Sporting Moknine, who cannot afford to lose, or risk being left behind.
- CS Redeyef vs. Kalâa Sport: In Redeyef, the local team will face Kalâa Sport, who recently lost to Stade Gabésien. If the Sahelians want to get back into contention, the CSR also needs to step up their game. A balanced match is expected.
- AS Ariana vs. ES Bouchemma: In Ariana, the poorly ranked ASA will host ES Bouchemma, who have no room for error and are at the same level as their opponents.
- CS Korba vs. Olympique Sidi Bouzid: The 12th-ranked CS Korba will host the other relegation candidate, Olympique Sidi Bouzid, in a crucial match for both teams.
