Nigeria – Tunisia. Forecast and announcement for the 2025 African Cup of Nations match

On December 27, the match of the 2nd round of the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations will be held at the Sportive de Fes Complex, in which the national teams of Nigeria and Tunisia will play. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Nigeria

The team has long been one of the flagships of African football. But lately it has been pushed to the background. In general, the year ending was a confirmation of this unpleasant trend. At the African Nations Championship, they managed to win only in the third, last round, which, of course, was not enough to get out of the group. In the selection, they seemed to be able to push Benin first – only due to a crushing victory in the last round, they were overtaken by equality of points and took second place. Then, in the first meeting, they pressed Gabon by 4-1 in extra time. But DR Congo lost the decisive match on penalty kicks.

So CAN is a chance to rehabilitate for that failure. It was possible to open an account with Tanzania. The outsider managed to equalize at the beginning of the second half, but Lukman immediately restored the status quo – and the score was 2:1.

Tunisia

The national team, on the contrary, is finally coming out of the shadows. She managed to qualify for the World Cup, moreover, it turned out to be almost perfect: nine wins with only one draw and a sure, by a margin, first place in the group. True, at the Arab Cup, already in December, they started with the defeat of Syria. And although they then drew with Palestine and defeated Qatar, the players did not get there in the playoffs.

Of course, they did not want to step on the same rake at the African Cup of Nations. Starting with Uganda, Trabelsi’s wards won a very convincing victory. Shiri opened the scoring in the tenth minute, then Ashuri scored a double. And only at the end, the opponent was allowed to score a prestigious goal.

Statistics of personal meetings

In the last eight face-to-face matches, the national teams had one win each with a large number of draws.
