EGS Gafsa vs Esperance Tunis Prediction 25.12.2024 | Tunisia - Ligue 1

• Competition: Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1
• Date: Wednesday, 25th, December 2024
• Kickoff: 13:00 UK / 14:00 CET
• Venue: Stade du 7 Novembre (Gafsa)

Esperance Tunis intends to keep up their pursuit of the league leaders as they visit rock-bottom EGS Gafsa in Wednesday afternoon's Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 match.

Last season, EGS Gafsa finished third in the playout but survived relegation from the Tunisian top flight by a slender two points, however, the issues that have dogged them in the current campaign suggest another complicated battle for survival. With 11 league games under their belt, the team in yellow-green uniforms has little to show for it, with only four meager points from one win and a draw, and their woeful tally has logically nailed them at the bottom of the table.

On the opposite side of the field stands Esperance Tunis, a team that boasts the most national titles in the country, with their last season's triumph marking a historic 33rd championship in the club's history. However, the Smiling One's defense of their league title has been slightly hindered by draws, as five of their 11 matches ended in shared spoils, but now they will look to devise a winning strategy to close the gap to current leaders Monastir by just three points.

EGS Gafsa vs Esperance Tunis Betting Tips: ES TUNIS TO WIN

If they wish to avoid a setback in their title pursuit, the most decorated Tunisian club Esperance will need to turn their draws into victories and regain their winning momentum. Securing a midweek victory should not pose much of a challenge for Reghecampf's men, especially since their hosts EGS Gafsa are enduring a nightmare season, having suffered defeat in nine of their opening eleven matches. It is hard to imagine El Falluja troubling the Tunisian powerhouse, particularly when coming into this clash burdened by a three-match losing streak.

Although their most recent away games have resulted in draws, the Smiling One will fancy their chances here, as they boast an eight-game unbeaten streak in Gafsa, five of which ended in triumph. Based on everything, we believe that Esperance Tunis will showcase their true strength and claim all three points against the Green-Yellows, who are in complete disarray and seem incapable of doing anything other than adding another defeat to their tally, which in this case would mark their 10th loss in 12 matches.
