Nigeria and Tunisia square off at the Complexe Sportif de Fes in their second AFCON group C fixture on Saturday.

Both teams are looking to build on wins in their opening fixtures and will come into this clash feeling confident. They appear evenly matched at the moment and could be set to cancel each other out. 

Nigeria News


Nigeria began their AFCON campaign with a 2-1 victory over Tanzania on Saturday. Semi Ajayi opened the scoring midway through the first half while Ademola Lookman struck the winner after the break. 

It was a solid performance from Nigeria, and manager Eric Chelle will look to use it as a springboard for the rest of the tournament. The Super Eagles’ overall form has also been solid as they are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions. 

Nigeria have shown some attacking quality lately, scoring in their last eight matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in six of those matches, while two of the last four fixtures have produced more goals after the break.

Tunisia News


Tunisia are also coming off a victory as they triumphed 3-1 over Uganda in their opening fixture. Ellyes Skhiri opened the scoring early in the contest while Elias Achour netted a brace. 

That result is part of a solid run for Tunisia, who come into this tournament in good form. Sami Trabelsi’s team are unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions, with three of those fixtures ending in draws. 

Tunisia also have quality in attack, scoring in their last seven matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last five fixtures on this run, while two of the last four matches have produced more goals after the break.
 

Head to Head 


Nigeria have five wins while Tunisia have picked up three victories, with eight draws in the last 16 matches. Four of the last six meetings have ended in draws, although the Carthage Eagles earned troubled 1-0 when both teams met in the round of 16 of the 2021 AFCON.

Verdict

Nigeria and Tunisia have shown some quality going forward lately, and both teams are expected to score here. With both sides often showing more quality after the break, the second half could be set to offer up more goals.
 
Both teams are showing similar form at the moment and appear evenly matched coming into this clash. Having drawn four of their last six meetings, a repeat could be on the cards here.
