Tunisian Ligue 1: Club Africain Facing Defensive Challenges Ahead of Espérance de Zarzis Clash
After a dramatic 2-2 draw in the Tunis derby against Espérance de Tunis, Club Africain is preparing to face Espérance de Zarzis this Sunday in Matchday 15 of the Tunisian Ligue 1.
Head coach Daniel Sanchez continues to deal with issues in his defense. Bilel Iffa, who missed the derby, is still unavailable due to injury and has yet to recover, leaving a key gap in the center-back position.
According to Shems FM, Sanchez may opt to start Oussama Haddadi at right-back. Meanwhile, the central defensive partnership is expected to be made up of Seif Tka and Hichem Belkaroui, as Club Africain looks to maintain its lead at the top of the table.
Current Standings (after 14 matchdays):
-
Club Africain – 32 pts
-
Étoile Sportive du Sahel – 31 pts
-
Club Sportif Sfaxien – 25 pts
Sunday’s fixture will be crucial for Club Africain to consolidate its lead before the mid-season break.
