Stade Tunisien Faces New Challenge After Recent Setback
The Stade Tunisien failed to secure their 8th consecutive win in L1, following a disappointing draw against CSS at Ennaifer. Now, they must regroup and bounce back with a win against JSO at Zouiten.
A Call to Regain Momentum
After a frustrating exit from the C3 preliminary round and a lackluster draw against CSS, fans are eager to see the team reinvent themselves and return to their winning ways. Despite the setbacks, the team's overall performance and dedication have been impressive, with the supporters showing their appreciation through constant and enthusiastic support throughout the matches. There are many reasons for optimism, and fans have every right to dream big. However, coach Chokri Khatoui and his team must refocus and overcome the challenging Jeunesse d'El Omrane, a tough opponent capable of rising to the occasion and securing wins when they put in the effort.
Key Players Absent Due to Injury
The Stade Tunisien will not be at full strength when they face JSO at Zouiten, as several key players will be absent due to injury. Marouen Sahraoui, Hedi Khalfa, and Amine Haboubi will all miss the match, leaving gaps in the team's defense and attack. Coach Khatoui will need to find the right replacements to fill these voids and ensure a strong performance.
Predicted Lineup
In the absence of Sahraoui, Khalfa, and Haboubi, the technical staff may opt for the following lineup:
- Goalkeeper: Noureddine Farhati
- Right flank: Iyadh Riahi
- Left flank: Aziz Saihi
- Central defense: Skander Sghaier and Wael Ouerghemmi (or Mahamat Thiam or Rayan Smâali)
- Midfield: Amath Ndaw, Boubacar Camara, and Rafaeddine Riahi (or Alysson Adriano)
- Attack: Youssef Saâfi (right wing), Amadou Ndiaye (striker), and Firas Aifia, Amine Khemissi, or Abderahmen Hanchi (left wing) The team has several alternative options, including Moncef Gharbi, Godswill Emmanuel, and Amir Jaouadi, who can provide additional offensive firepower.
