The Stade de Radès will host this derby of the Tunisian capital on Sunday, as part of the 27th round of Ligue 1.

According to the latest reports, the Tunisian club's mainstay will not be able to rely on an important quartet, namely central defenders Mohamed Amine Tougai and Yassine Meriah, defensive midfielder Roger Ahoulou, and winger Youcef Belaili.

A major blow for the "blood and gold" club, which cannot afford any mistakes with only four matches left in this 2024-2025 Ligue 1 season.
