The match between Nigeria and Tunisia will decide who will move on to the quarter-finals of AFCON 2021. Nigeria moved on to the group of eight at the top of their table while Tunisia was in the third position of Group F.

Nigeria became the top contenders in Group D after their win against Guinea-Bissau in their last match. They scored two goals against the opposition while defending their net well. The match ended with 2-0 FT score.

Tunisia could find win only in one of the matches in their group stage. Their last match against Gambia ended in a loss after Gambia scored a 90’-minute decider in the match. The match ended with 1-0 FT score.

Super Eagles is one of the most favoured contenders in AFCON this season. They have played well qualifying the group stage with a 100%-win tally. Nigeria is the only team to have a 100%-win tally in the group sage. They have played both offense and defence well in their matches. They kept clean sheets in two of the three matches in group stage as well.

Tunisia, on the other hand, was in the third place in their group stage matches. Their only win against Mauritania helped the team to qualify for the group of eight. Tunisia has failed to score in the rest of the matches. Eagles of Carthage will need to put on an outstanding performance if they want to stay in the AFCON.

Nigeria vs Tunisia Prediction

Nigeria has moved to the group of eight without losing in any of their previous matches in this tournament. They have been a tough contender for their opponents and have put on a great effort for securing their net in the match. In the last two matches, Nigeria has scored over 1.5 goals as well.

Tunisia has not been the best team in their group. Both above ranking teams in their group have won against them. They have also failed to score in the matches as well.

So, I believe Nigeria will be the winners in the match and will score over 1.5 goals against Tunisia.
