Espérance de Tunis is set to host JSM Béjaïa in the second leg of the round of 16 in the CAF Champions League. After a goalless draw in Algeria, Espérance has a favorable position to advance to the group stage.
However, the head coach of Espérance, Maher Kanzari, is cautious and refutes the perception that they already have one foot in the group stage. Kanzari points out that they faced challenges in the return match against Primeiro de Agosto, despite winning in the previous round. He emphasizes that the only favorable outcome they aim for is a victory and acknowledges that it won’t be an easy task against JSMB.
A draw with goals would qualify the visitors, so to avoid any surprises, the Tunisian team plans to play with a balanced approach. Kanzari mentions the importance of not rushing into attack and exposing themselves on defense. The team is wary of the opponent’s potential counter-attacks and aims to maintain a balanced and strategic game plan, adjusting from the first-leg encounter.
