Nigeria will take on Tunisia on Saturday in a pivotal Group C clash at the Africa Cup of Nations, with both teams chasing control of the group standings. The encounter will be played at the Fez Stadium in Morocco, with kickoff scheduled for 9pm local time. The Super Eagles are seeking improvement after an unconvincing 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their opening match.
Despite claiming maximum points, Nigeria struggled with finishing, creating numerous chances without capitalising. Victor Osimhen endured a quiet outing, while goals from Semi Ajayi and Ademola Lookman proved just enough to secure victory. Head coach Eric Chelle is expected to demand greater efficiency as the three-time champions prepare for a tougher test.
Tunisia enter the fixture full of confidence following a commanding 3-1 win over Uganda, which sent them top of Group C. Elias Achouri scored twice in that match, while Ellyes Skhiri also found the net. With both sides level on points, Saturday’s contest could significantly shape the race for qualification heading into the final group fixtures.
