The coach of Tunisia Sami Trabelsi says his team will go into their game against the Super Eagles of Nigeria with the intention of picking up a win in tomorrow’s Africa Cup of Nations game, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Tunisia started their campaign with a 3-1 win over Uganda, just like Nigeria who also hit the ground running with a 2-1 win over Tanzania setting the scene for what will be an explosive encounter.
Billed as the top of the table game game, the winner of the game will book a spot in the round of 16. The last time both teams met was in the same round with Tunisia winning 1-0 in 2022, when the tournament was staged in Cameroon.
Trabelsi says his team will be largely unchanged from the one that defeated Uganda , and hopefully they will get a win to push them to top of the group and also the next round.
” We don’t change a winning team. The players who have been performing well deserve to play again. However each match has its own reality on the pitch, and I’m not one of those who change excessively”, the coach noted at the pre match presser.
He went further to confirm the return to full fitness of top striker Hazem Mastouri who has recovered from the knock that kept him out of their first game, saying he is ready to play against Nigeria tomorrow.
