Tunisia vs Namibia Preview

Tunisia are big favourites and should have enough quality to win. I do see Namibia making life difficult for Tunisia, but they won’t offer enough threat moving forward. I’m backing Tunisia to win to nil.

Tunisia Form

Tunisia are unbeaten in their last four matches with three wins and a draw. Their last defeat came on 17 October 2023 when they were beaten 2-0 by Japan.

In their World Cup qualifiers, Tunisia beat Sao Tome and Principe 4-0 at home and Malawi 1-0 away. They have since played two warmup games, drawing 0-0 against Mauritania and then beating Cape Verde 2-0.

Tunisia Injuries & Team News

Tunisia are among the favourites for the AFCON title and this is a good test for them first up. They will enjoy a lot of possession, but breaking Namibia down won’t be that simple.

Namibia Form

Over the last year or two, Namibia have proven themselves capable of competing with the best in Africa. While their results don’t always tell the story, they have been very solid defensively which makes it tough to break them down.

Namibia drew 0-0 in South Africa in September 2023 before losing 1-0 to Equatorial Guinea in their opening World Cup qualifier. The Southern African nation then defeated Sao Tome and Principe 2-0 away in their last World Cup qualifier.

In their only warmup game ahead of AFCON, Namibia took Ghana to the wire, drawing 0-0 in another decent performance.

Namibia Injuries & Team News

Namibia does not tend to concede too many goals but going forward they do struggle. Should they keep the game tight in the first half, Tunisia could find it very tough.

Verdict

Tunisia v Namibia

Tunisia should have enough quality to break down this Namibian side inside 90 minutes. I'm backing the Northern African nation to win to nil.
