Defense is the weapon of Esperance in front of Zamalek for the full mark in the champions

Tunisian Esperance came close to qualifying for the quarter-finals of the African Champions, after it scored 9 points in the first 3 matches in its fourth group, to top the standings with a relatively comfortable difference from its first opponent, Al-Merikh Al-Sudanese, who scored 4 points, while the youth of Belouizdad ranks third with 3 points, and Zamalek fourth with a point.

Esperance is looking for a fourth victory, with which it confirms its great desire to take the lead in the group and play the last matches without pressure, given that victory will guarantee Esperance great opportunities to qualify for first place due to the important difference it enjoys from its competitors.

Zamalek does not register

Esperance seems likely to return with a positive result from Egypt when it hosts Zamalek, today, Tuesday, because the Egyptian club is suffering from several crises, as evidenced by the fact that it has not achieved any victory after the halfway point of the campaign, but rather that it has not scored any goal so far in three matches, and therefore it may He will be unable to defeat Esperance, although he will play in front of his fans, but the performance of his attackers is still below expectations and complicates the team’s task.

Esperance did not accept goals

A task that will be more difficult when knowing that Esperance withstood during the first 3 matches, and no opponent was able to score, as goalkeeper Moez Ben Cherifieh excelled in defending his own goal and benefited from a strong defense led by Yassin Meriah, as well as Algerian Mohamed Amin Togay, who played a decisive role in the successes of Esperance.

And between a team that does not score and another that does not accept goals, the task of Taraji seems relatively easier to return with the qualification card for the quarter-finals, as it did in recent years, especially when it defeated Zamalek in its last meeting in Egypt, and therefore the representative of the Egyptian League will be required to raise its level to achieve victory.
