The Super Eagles win over Egypt in the group stage showed the Nigerians ability with little time on the ball.

Meanwhile, Tunisia are used to keeping possession and have a record of 59.9 percent possession in AFCON matches so far.

Nigeria will look to punish Tunisia on counter attacks when they recover the ball.

In the match against Egypt, the Super Eagles showed their counter-attacking ability and fans can’t wait to watch the match.

Another key fact is that Nigeria have scored the first goal in all their three games at the AFCON finals.

The AFCON 2021 Nigeria Vs Tunisia match is expected to attract thousands of fans at the stadium.

Meanwhile, Tunisia have lost both matches after conceding the first goal at AFCON so far.

Tunisia Khazri Threat & Covid Problems

Tunisia’s Covid-19 outbreak has become a serious problem for the North African nation at the finals.

Coach Kebaier named only five substitutes for the group stage match against Gambia, with Wahbi Khazri also not available.

Khazri has more shots on target than any other player at the 2021 AFCON so far.
