The Tunisian football league returns to action this Tuesday with the commencement of the 12th round in the first group, followed by the matches of the second group on Wednesday.
This marks the completion of the last encounters of the first stage, just before the Tunisian national team participates in the Africa Cup of Nations starting next month.
For every team, the primary objective will be to secure incentive points, which could prove decisive in the second stage, whether in the race for the title or in the context of the competition to avoid relegation.
This competition is now intensified following the adjustments made by the Tunisian Football Federation.
In the first group, ES Sahel has already secured qualification for the championship stage.
Club Africain and Club Tunisien are just a few points away, setting the stage for a crucial encounter on Tuesday.
This match has the potential to delay the qualification of one of the teams as Club Africain seeks to recover from their setback against ES Sahel, which pushed them to the third position.
Meanwhile, Club Tunisien aims to solidify its excellent results since the start of the return phase with four consecutive victories.
Despite Olympique Beja’s loss of control over its fate, the reigning champion of the Tunisian Cup World, it retains hope of qualifying for the decisive stage.
Olympique Beja will strive to keep its hopes alive in the remaining matches, especially considering its upcoming clash with Club Africain.
Despite facing challenges and losing its coach, Olympique Beja may still turn the tables.
Logically, Club Tunisien and Club Africain are likely to qualify for the decisive stage.
In the second group, Esperance Sportive, Union Monastir, and Club Sportif Sfaxien have already secured qualification for the competitive stage.
However, competition remains fierce to secure the best positions, ensuring the highest number of incentive points.
The match between Esperance and Sfaxien looms large, with Esperance being the undefeated team, and a victory almost guaranteeing them the top spot.
Meanwhile, Sfaxien aspires to secure the second position despite the formidable challenge presented by Union Monastir, displaying remarkable performances in recent seasons.
The teams that secure the top three positions in each group will advance to compete for the Tunisian football league title.
Simultaneously, the remaining eight teams will fiercely compete to avoid relegation.
The league administration has abolished direct relegation at the end of the first stage, offering teams a second chance for recovery and the opportunity to play more matches.
