The Stadium Seeks Third Revenge While Esperance Pursues Historic Treble
The date is set for a rematch between the Tunisian Sports Esperance and the Tunisian Stadium this evening, Sunday, in a heated clash to determine the champion of the Tunisian Super Cup for 2024-2025, which will take place at the Rades Olympic Stadium at 17:15 Tunis time (19:15 Mecca time).
This is the third encounter between the two teams in just 6 months, and it is an opportunity for the Tunisian Stadium to break the 'Baklawa' curse against Esperance, which has won the previous two matches, starting with its Super Cup victory in February 2024, followed by the Tunisian Cup in June.
The match carries a special significance, not only because it is an official championship but also because it comes within the context of the rivalry and history between the capital's teams, where the Stadium seeks to achieve 'third revenge', while Esperance aims to confirm its local dominance and snatch a treble from a single opponent.
Recent encounters between the two teams have shown a clear superiority for Esperance, which won the Super Cup 2024, the Tunisian Cup final 2024, and the local league with a win and a draw that granted them 4 crucial points in clinching the title.
The Tunisian Stadium hopes to turn the tables and end Esperance's dominance, although some observers believe that holding the final before the season starts may affect the technical readiness of both teams.
A large crowd and intense atmosphere are expected at tonight's final, especially since the match carries a revenge character on one hand and a formal title-winning aspect on the other.
