Tunisia: Tight battle emerging in Ligue 2 group B ahead of 6th round fixtures

Kalaa Sport remain at the top of Ligue 2 Group B as the competition moves into its sixth round, with early signs suggesting a fiercely contested campaign across the table.

The league leaders have collected 10 points from their opening five matches, demonstrating consistency that has kept them narrowly ahead of the chasing pack.

Their solid start has positioned them as one of the early favourites in the race for promotion, though their advantage remains far from secure.

Hot on their heels are US Ksour Essef and EGS Gafsa, both sitting on eight points.

Ksour Essef have matched Kalaa Sport stride for stride in several areas of their performances, while Gafsa’s strong displays also underline their ambitions of returning to the country’s elite.

Just one victory could be enough to change the order among these leading sides, setting up an intriguing weekend of football.

AS Ariana stand fourth with seven points but with the added advantage of a game in hand compared to most of their rivals.

That additional fixture may prove decisive as the table continues to fluctuate.

Sharing the same points total are AS Kasserine and Jendouba Sport, both having played five matches and remaining within touching distance of the promotion chase.

Mid-table remains congested. Stade Gabesien, PS Sakiet Eddaier and ES Bouchemma each have six points, with all three showing glimpses of competitiveness.

With four matches played apiece, they too hold the potential to climb to the upper positions should results go their way in the coming weeks.

Their ability to generate momentum will be key as they seek to avoid being drawn into the lower battle.

Just below that cluster sit SC Moknine, CS Korba and CS Redaief, all on five points from five games.

Their situation reflects the fine margins of the division; a single win could propel any of them into the top half of the group.

At the bottom of the standings, AS Jelma and Olympique Sidi Bouzid share the same record: two points from five matches. Both clubs are still chasing their first victories of the season and will need an immediate response to avoid being cut adrift. As pressure mounts, their upcoming fixtures may prove crucial in shaping their long-term prospects in the competition.

With the sixth round approaching, every club in Group B remains in contention to alter its fate.

Small differences in results could dramatically reshape the rankings, making this stage of the season pivotal for teams striving for promotion or battling to stay afloat.
