Jendouba Sport and AS Marsa will take centre stage on Sunday in the decisive 22nd round of Tunisia’s Ligue 2 Group A, as both clubs aim to boost their hopes of promotion to Ligue 1.
With the season nearing its end, every point carries weight, and Sunday’s fixtures could significantly shape the final standings.
Jendouba Sport, who sit at the top with 46 points, are poised to defend their lead when they welcome fourth-placed CS Korba to town.
The match will be officiated by Aymen Nasri and could further solidify Jendouba’s place at the summit if they secure a win.
Simultaneously, AS Marsa, trailing by five points in second place, host bottom-of-the-table ES Rades at home.
Refereed by Yassine Hmani, this encounter presents a prime opportunity for Marsa to apply pressure on the league leaders—though their fate is not entirely in their own hands.
Jendouba, who have maintained consistent form throughout the campaign, know that victory on Sunday would push them closer to clinching the only available promotion spot to Ligue 1.
However, Korba, with 36 points, remain a formidable opponent and will be motivated to upset the frontrunners and keep their own faint hopes alive.
AS Marsa, meanwhile, cannot afford anything less than three points if they are to remain in contention.
With ES Rades rooted at the foot of the table with just seven points from 22 matches, Marsa are expected to capitalise, though recent fixtures have shown that no result can be taken for granted.
Mégrine Sport, currently third with 40 points, are also watching closely.
While not playing this round, their position puts them within striking distance should either Jendouba or Marsa falter in the final weeks of the season.
Beyond the top four, AS Ariana (33 points), EM Mahdia (31), and ES Hammam Sousse (30) are battling for strong finishes, while the relegation-threatened sides—CS Hammam-Lif, Kalaa Sport, SC Moknine, SA Menzel Bourguiba, AS Oued Ellil, and ES Rades—continue their fight for survival.
With only a few rounds remaining, the race for promotion in Group A is building towards a dramatic conclusion.
All eyes will be on Jendouba and Marsa this Sunday, as the long-distance duel intensifies with everything still to play for.
