The 14th day of the Ligue 1 championship promises to be thrilling, dominated by the long-awaited clash between Club Africain and Esperance de Tunis. But beyond the capital derby, the weekend promises several decisive clashes for both the top and bottom of the table.
The Radès derby, summit of the weekend
On Sunday, the Hamadi Agrebi stadium will vibrate to the rhythm of the great classic of Tunisian football. The African Club, supported by a melting public, dreams of bringing down the Esperantist leader, solid and intractable for several weeks.
The “Rouge et Blanc” want to return to the top of the ranking, while the “Blood and Gold” aim to widen the gap further. Between historical rivalry, sporting issues and incandescent atmosphere, everything suggests a high-intensity duel.
Starting Saturday, CA Bizertin hosts Étoile du Sahel in a double-stakes match. The Bizertins are looking to move away from the red zone, while the Sahelians, still looking for consistency, hope to relaunch a winning dynamic. This duel could mark a turning point for both teams.
Matches to watch
US Monastirienne will welcome JS Kairouanaise with the aim of staying in touch with the podium. CS Sfaxien, for its part, hosts AS Marsa in a tricky match. The “Black and White” want to confirm their return to form after a hesitant start to the season.
ES Métlaoui and ES Zarzis will face each other on Sunday in a crucial match, just like the AS Gabès–AS Soliman meeting, which promises to be undecided. Finally, on Monday, JS Omrane will host Olympique de Béja to close this 14th day, a duel between two teams with opposite trajectories: one seeks to escape the dangerous zone, the other to confirm its good start to the season.
