9th Round of the Tunisian Soccer Championship to Finish

The 9th round of the Tunisian National Soccer League Championship will finish today after two postponed games are played, according to Al-Sahafa daily. One match is between Al-Malab Al-Tunisi and Al-Taraji and the second is between Al-Najem Al-Saheli and Olympic Club. The two games were delayed because Al-Taraji and Al-Najem played in the final rounds of the African Cup Winners' Cup.

Al-Taraji appears to have the upper hand over Al-Malab Al-Tunisi. The team not only played well in the African finals, but has yet to lose a game in the Tunisian league. Still, Al-Malab Al-Tunisi will try to capitalize on the absence of three key Al-Taraji players: Al-Waaer, Al-Qabsi and Badra. The team will also try to take advantage of Al-Taraji's focus on the African Cup Finals. In the second game, Al-Najem Al-Saheli is undefeated and recently won the African Confederation Cup. They will host Olympic Club.
