In their 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) opener on Tuesday, Tunisia is set to face Namibia at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium.
Tunisia, participating in the group stage for the 16th consecutive AFCON edition, reached the quarter-finals last season, losing a closely contested match 1-0 to Burkina Faso. Their sole AFCON title came in 2004 when they hosted the tournament. Having consistently advanced to the quarter-finals in the last four editions, Tunisia aims to maintain this impressive streak. With South Africa and Mali also in Group E, they are strong contenders to top the group.
Contrastingly, Namibia missed out on the previous AFCON edition, having been eliminated in the group stage in 2019. During that tournament, they suffered defeats in all three group stage games, scoring once and conceding six goals.
The 2004 champions, Tunisia, enter the AFCON with an unbeaten record in their last four games across all competitions, maintaining clean sheets in each match. Their recent 2-0 friendly win over Cape Verde showcases their form.
On the other hand, Namibia has only secured one victory in their last eight games in all competitions. In their recent friendly against Ghana on Tuesday, they played to a goalless draw.
Prediction
Tunisia has a good team with experience and quality and we expect them to win this game.
