The 11th day of the Ligue 1 championship continues this Wednesday with three decisive matches, as Tunisian clubs return to the national scene after a bitter continental week. Stade Tunisien, Étoile du Sahel and Union Sportive Monastirienne will try to rediscover the taste of victory and forget their African eliminations.
Stade Tunisien wants to turn the African page
Eliminated from the Confederation Cup, the Stadistes approach this meeting with the desire to move forward. Their coach, Chokri Khatoui, finally kept in his position after having considered leaving, can count on a group determined to aim for the title. Second in the standings (24 points), Stade Tunisien is only one length behind the leader, Club Africain.
Etoile du Sahel under pressure at Marsa
Nothing is going well in Sousse. The elimination in the Confederation Cup weakened a club already in search of benchmarks. On a sporting level, Mohamed Ali Nafkha’s men suffered a home defeat (1-2) against Béja. AS Marsa, beaten at Métlaoui (0-1), hopes to take advantage of this period of instability to win in front of its audience and move away from the dangerous zone.
Monastir to relaunch
Having left the Champions League, US Monastirienne must bounce back quickly. Sixth with 17 points, it remains on a defeat (1-2) against Club Africain, but can still hope to enter the top 5.
