Ligue 1 – 12th day: Club Africain to consolidate its first place

The Tunisian championship enters its 12th day with four matches on the program this Saturday. Club Africain will try to stay at the top of the standings, while Étoile du Sahel, AS Gabès and Ben Guerdane will seek to redress the situation.

The 12th day of Ligue 1 begins this Saturday, November 1, with four posters distributed across the Watania branches. From 2:30 p.m., fans of the Tunisian championship will be able to follow the first duels of a decisive weekend before the big shocks on Sunday.

The African Club wants to widen the gap

Leader tied on points with Stade Tunisien (25 pts), Club Africain hosts AS Soliman with the ambition of consolidating its first place. Buoyed by their 3-1 success in Kairouan, the Clubists will have to manage a busy schedule with two major confrontations to come: against Stade Tunisien on Thursday, then against Esperance of Tunis next Sunday.

Étoile du Sahel in search of continuity

Winner 2-0 at Marsa on the last day, Étoile du Sahel will try to confirm its renewed form against ES Métlaoui. Prematurely eliminated from the Confederation Cup, the Sahelians are aiming for a positive series to return to the first half of the table.

Still bottom with 7 points, AS Gabès is playing big at home against US Monastirienne. Beaten in Métlaoui (0-1), the Gabesians must react to avoid getting bogged down in the standings.

US Ben Guerdane hopes to return to victory at home against JS Kairouanaise. Beaten 3-1 by Club Africain, the latter will try to correct its defensive flaws and stop its negative series.
