Preview: Hammam-Lif Hosts Djerba in Key Ligue 2 Clash

HAMMAM-LIF, Tunisia (Interstat) — A pivotal mid-season matchup in Tunisia’s second division will see Hammam-Lif host Djerba at Hammam-Lif Gazon on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025, in a Week 11 Ligue 2 contest.

The home side enters the match favored by statistical models but seeking to reverse a recent scoring drought. Despite a strong start to the campaign, Hammam-Lif has been held scoreless in its last three outings across all competitions, including a 1-0 defeat to Hammam-Sousse on Dec. 13 and consecutive 0-0 draws against OC Kerkennah and Menzel Bourguiba.

Their overall form, however, remains solid. Positioned in the upper half of the table, Hammam-Lif has lost only once in its last ten league matches, a stretch featuring notable victories, including a 7-0 rout of Chebba on Nov. 7. The team has shown a resilient defense and potent attack at home earlier in the season.

Djerba arrives as the visiting underdog but carries the psychological edge of a recent head-to-head victory. The sides last met on May 27, 2023, with Djerba securing a 1-0 home win. This historical result, coupled with Hammam-Lif’s current offensive struggles, could provide a blueprint for the visitors.

Statistical projections present a conflicting outlook. Interstat’s ELO rating system heavily favors Hammam-Lif, assigning the club an 89.60 percent probability to win. Conversely, the same outlet’s game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw, suggesting a tightly contested affair.

The match promises significant implications for the Ligue 2 standings as the season approaches its midpoint. For Hammam-Lif, the focus will be on rediscovering its scoring touch and converting statistical dominance into three points. Djerba will aim to capitalize on its opponent’s slump and replicate its previous successful defensive performance to steal a result on the road.

Kickoff is set for Sunday afternoon at Hammam-Lif Gazon.
