The organisers of Tunisia’s Ligue 1 have confirmed the full fixture list for Matchday 20, with a packed weekend of matches scheduled for early February as the competition enters a decisive phase of the season.
The 20th round will be played across Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 February, with all listed matches kicking off at 14:00 local time.
Several clubs chasing points at both ends of the table will be in action, while one high-profile fixture has been postponed and will be rearranged at a later date.
Saturday’s programme features four matches taking place simultaneously.
Etoile du Sahel will host Union Sportive Monastirienne in what is expected to be one of the standout encounters of the round, given the stature of both sides and the importance of the points on offer.
At the same time, Espérance de Zarzis welcome AS Gabés, with both teams looking to strengthen their positions in the standings.
AS Marsa will face Jeunesse Sportive Kairouanaise in another afternoon fixture, while Olympique de Béja take on AS Soliman.
With the season progressing and margins tightening, each of these matches carries added significance for teams seeking either to climb the table or distance themselves from danger.
The action continues on Sunday with three further fixtures.
Club Sportif Sfaxien host rivals Club Africain in a meeting that traditionally attracts strong attention, as two of the country’s most recognised clubs meet with pride and points at stake.
Elsewhere, Club Athlétique Bizertin will play US Ben Guerdane, while JS Omrane are set to face ES Métlaoui, completing the scheduled matches for the round.
One notable absence from the weekend’s programme is the fixture between Espérance de Tunis and Stade Tunisien.
League organisers have confirmed that this match has been postponed and will be played on a later date, which will be communicated in due course.
The postponement means both teams will have to wait before adding Matchday 20 points to their totals.
As Ligue 1 approaches its final stretch, the outcomes of these fixtures are likely to have a direct impact on the shape of the table.
With several clubs closely grouped on points, Matchday 20 could prove pivotal in setting the tone for the weeks ahead.
