Tomorrow, the Blood and Gold will play a Tunisian championship classic against Etoile du Sahel. This is a crucial match for more than one reason, as it represents:
An opportunity to redeem themselves with the fans. The Espérance players are aware that they have not been up to scratch lately. A win against Etoile du Sahel would allow them to regain the confidence of their fans and refocus before the continental final.
It will also be an important step towards the league title. Espérance are currently top of the league, two points ahead of US Monastir. A victory tomorrow would extend this lead.
Finally, it is a final rehearsal before the Champions League final. This match against Etoile du Sahel will be an opportunity for the Espérance players to get into the rhythm of the competition and test their automatisms before the big event on May 18th.
The Espérance players are fired up for this match. They have been stung by the comments of the Etoile du Sahel coach, who said he wanted to take advantage of Espérance's bad spell to win in Radès.
Tomorrow, Espérance and their fans will be in "big match" mode. Victory is imperative to erase the disappointments of recent days, maintain their lead in the championship and prepare as well as possible for the Champions League final. Good luck to our valiant Blood and Gold!
