Tactical Analysis
Both teams set up with a focus on defensive solidity, as evidenced by the lack of goals until the closing stages. Club Africain’s back line, led by G. Zaalouni and Y. Meriah, remained compact and limited ES Hammam-Sousse’s attacking options. The visitors, meanwhile, prioritized midfield congestion, with M. Baayou orchestrating defensive duties and ensuring Club Africain found little space in central areas. Substitutions and tactical tweaks were minimal, with neither side deviating significantly from their initial approach. The breakthrough came as Club Africain pushed forward late, finally breaking down the visitors’ resistance with a decisive moment of quality from B. Ait Malek.
Turning Point
B. Ait Malek’s 88th-minute goal, which broke the deadlock and sealed all three points for Club Africain.
Man of the Match
B. Ait Malek
Scored the only goal of the match in the 88th minute, delivering victory for his side.
Club Africain vs ES Hammam-Sousse: Match Preview
Club Africain come into this Ligue 1 opener riding a wave of late-season momentum, unbeaten in their last five matches (three wins, two draws) and having ended the previous campaign with a run of three clean sheets. Their attack has found a rhythm as well, averaging 1.4 goals per game across that stretch and scoring in every outing. With a second-place finish last year, the expectation is for a strong start—especially at home.
ES Hammam-Sousse, newly promoted from Ligue 2, face a stern test on their return to the top flight. Their final five matches last season yielded no wins from the last four, with defensive frailties exposed by 1.6 goals conceded per game and just one clean sheet. While they managed to find the net in four of those five, their tendency to concede late and drop points from winning positions is a concern against a side as organised as Club Africain.
The tactical matchup is clear: Club Africain's disciplined defence and late-game scoring edge (six of their last seven goals after the break) should allow them to control proceedings, particularly as Hammam-Sousse have struggled to keep opponents at bay in the second half. The model expects the home side to break through after half-time and keep things tight at the back, with a 2-0 scoreline reflecting both their recent form and Hammam-Sousse's step up in class.

Final Verdict
Club Africain 2–0 ES Hammam-SousseClub Africain's late-season surge—three wins and two draws, with just two goals conceded in five—makes them clear favourites here, especially against a newly promoted ES Hammam-Sousse side that struggled for defensive solidity in Ligue 2.
