After a frustrating draw against CS Sfaxien, the Blood and Gold are determined to get back to winning ways against Stade Tunisien on Matchday 6 of the Ligue 1 Playoffs.

The mood was slightly tense in the Esperance camp on Wednesday night. The draw conceded in Radès against CS Sfaxien left a bitter taste for the players and the coaching staff. Victory is therefore imperative tomorrow afternoon against Stade Tunisien to get back on track and widen the gap at the top of the table.

The players are aware of the importance of this match and are determined to give their all to win. "We let two precious points slip away against CSS, we can no longer settle for draws," said captain Ben Hamida after the Clasico.

Changes expected in the lineup

After recovery sessions and targeted technical and tactical adjustments, the team feels ready to take on the challenge of tomorrow's derby. The coach and his staff have worked hard to compensate for the notable absences, including that of Aholou, who was sent off in the match against CS Sfaxien, and Ben Hamida, who left the field injured in the same match. These two absences will require adjustments to the lineup, but the coaching staff also has the resources and strategies to deal with other eventualities, particularly taking into account the fatigue of some players.

Tomorrow's match is not just a battle for the three points, it is also an opportunity for Esperance de Tunis to reaffirm its supremacy on the national scene. The fans are eagerly awaiting a convincing performance from their blood and gold heroes, and the players are more than determined to meet these expectations on the pitch.

Good luck to our valiant Blood and Gold!
