Nigeria came first in Group D with nine while Tunisia was one of the four third-placed finishers

The Nigerians won all their group matches-scoring six goals and conceding just one – a soft penalty against Sudan; while Tunisia scraped through their group; winning once and losing twice. They scored four goals and conceded twice.

The only lingering thought in Coach Augustine Eguavoen’s mind will be whether to start with Samuel Chukwueze on the right-wing after a below-average showing against Egypt and Sudan. However, both Alex Iwobi and Chidera Ejuke failed to grab the opportunities to nick ahead of the Villarreal forward. Tunisia have a rash of positive Covid-19 cases; about 11 players will miss the clash if various reports are to be believed. One player not suffering Covid, but who will nonetheless be missing is Farouk Ben Mustapha who received a red card in the last group encounter against The Gambia.11 Feb 2004 Tunisia 1 – 1 NigeriaNigeria will win if these five players perform to their optimum– The Nantes forward has been tearing it up in Cameroon and has created goal-scoring chances and scored.
