This Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 14:30, three postponed matches from the 7th Ligue 1 matchday will be played. Ligue 1's second-placed team, Espérance de Tunis, with 13 points, will host fourth-placed US Monastirienne, who have 12 points and remain unbeaten this season with three wins and three draws in six matches. A win for Espérance could see them close the gap to just one point behind league leaders US Ben Guerdane, who have 17 points.
Espérance welcomes back Abdramane Konaté, who has resumed collective training after injury. However, the participation of Hamza Rafia is uncertain, and Namory Keita remains unavailable. The team, under coach Pablo Franco, comes off the back of a 0-0 draw against CS Sfaxien on October 29. A victory against Monastir would allow them to close in on the top of the table before upcoming league fixtures.
In another key match, Étoile Sportive du Sahel, with seven points in five matches, hosts Club Sportif Sfaxien, who have nine points in six matches. The Sfaxiens are coming off a draw against Espérance, following their win over PS Sakiet Eddaïer. Étoile du Sahel recently returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Olympique de Béja on October 18. The last meeting between the two teams in May ended in a 3-1 win for CS Sfaxien in Sousse.
The third match of the day sees PS Sakiet Eddaïer, sixth with 11 points, host fifth-placed Club Africain, who have 12 points. Club Africain are looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Stade Tunisien on Tuesday. A win would allow them to close to within two points of the league leaders. Their opponents have had an encouraging start to the season, and a victory would see them surpass Club Africain and get closer to the top spots.
These matches represent crucial junctures for the teams involved in the fight for top positions in the league. The matches are part of a busy schedule for the teams, with another postponed match between ES Métlaoui and ES Zarzis taking place on Sunday, November 8, at the same time. The outcomes of these matches will likely have significant implications for the league standings.
The program for Saturday includes: Espérance de Tunis vs. US Monastirienne at Radès, Étoile du Sahel vs. CS Sfaxien in Sousse, and PS Sakiet Eddaïer vs. Club Africain at the Taïeb-Mhiri stadium in Sfax, all starting at 14:30. These matches promise to be exciting and closely contested, given the current league positions and recent form of the teams.
The results of these matches will be crucial in determining the trajectory of the Ligue 1 season. Teams are looking to improve their standings and gain ground on the leaders. With several teams closely matched in terms of points, the upcoming fixtures will likely play a significant role in shaping the final league table.
