CS Chebba vs Sfax Railways - Ligue 2

All eyes turn to the home ground on September 26, 2026 as CS Chebba welcome Sfax Railways in a Ligue 2 encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. Chelsea take on Serie A giants Juventus in Hong Kong this morning in the latest fixture on their pre-season tour of Asia.

There is little to choose between CS Chebba and Sfax Railways on paper, and the Ligue 2 encounter should reflect that balance. CS Chebba will be keen to seize the initiative and build some momentum on home soil. The visitors will back themselves to cause problems and will not make the trip expecting an easy afternoon. Ipswich would be open to permanent offers for the winger, who has three years to run on his contract.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. CS Chebba favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Sfax Railways are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. In attack, Brazilian forward Kaua Elias has emerged as a name of interest, with United scouts watching the Shakhtar Donetsk striker after his hat‑trick against Kudrivka on Monday.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Chelsea are inching close to selling Benoit Badiashile, with Napoli interested in loaning the central defender from the Blues.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
