BS Bouhajla Awaits "Sang et Or" in Tunisian Cup Quarterfinals

The BS Bouhajla team is a divisional club, but the "Sang et Or" should not underestimate the surprises that Dame Coupe can bring in such confrontations.

"Sang et Or" to Face BS Bouhajla in Tunisian Cup Quarterfinals

In their quest for the Tunisian Cup trophy, the "Sang et Or" will make another trip, this time to Bouhajla, where they will face the local team in a quarterfinal match. As BS Bouhajla is a divisional club (playing in Ligue 2), the "Sang et Or" coach, Christian Bracconi, will be without his foreign players. Therefore, Florian Danho, Jack Diarra, Ibrahima Keita, Kouceila Boualia, Aboubacar Diakite, Onuche Ogbelu, Yan Sasse, and Abdramane Konate will remain in Tunis and cannot provide support to their teammates.

Injuries and Absences

Regarding the local players, the infirmary is not empty. Mohamed Dräger, the right-back, who is still convalescing, will miss the match.

Christian Bracconi's Concerns

For Christian Bracconi, the difficulty in preparing for this match lies in the mental aspect. After the efforts made in Ben Guerdane to qualify for the Ligue des champions and in Métlaoui where the ticket for the Tunisian Cup quarterfinals was composed, the risk of a slump is real, as the team from Bouhajla can be taken lightly, especially considering their poor ranking in Group A. BS Bouhajla finished the championship at 9th place in the ranking.

Team Effectiveness and Solutions

Despite the non-qualification of foreign players and the prolonged absence of Dräger, Christian Bracconi has solutions to replace them, particularly in defense. Mohamed Ben Ali can replace Dräger if needed, and Elyas Bouzaiene can also fill in. Amannallah Memmiche still benefits from the trust of his coach. In midfield, all the balls will pass through Hamza Rafia, who has become indispensable, as well as Jebali and Tka. As for the attack, it will be led by Achref Jabri, who has regained his form in recent times.
