ES Setif team overview
Es Setif makes the trip to Nelson Mandela Stadium in winning form after a hard-fought 1:0 victory against Kabylie last week. Imadeddine Boubekeur's goal in the 73rd minute secured the points for Milutin Sredojević´s men.
A marked upturn in form sees the visitors come into Thursday’s fixture unbeaten in six matches across all competitions. Setif had lost three of their previous four games, but are now unbeaten in their last four league outings. Despite recent improvements, ES sit 11th in Ligue 1, two points behind the home side.
While the visitors have not been as prolific in the BTTS market as the hosts, Setif have scored at least one goal in seven of their last eight matches.
Head coach Sredojević has a strong squad available this week.
