A match stopped before the end of 90 minutes, a team undermined by 12 cases of Covid including its captain, the Tunisians did not really experience a favorable situation at the start of CAN 2022. Opposed to Nigeria in the round of 16, Tunisia wants to reverse the trend in Garoua (Cameroon), Sunday January 23 (8 p.m.). But the task promises to be difficult against Nigerians who have been very solid since the start of the competition.
The Super Eagles have won their three group stage matches, notably against Egypt (1-0). They can count on an iron defense which has conceded only one goal as well as an interesting attacking pool, with already six different scorers. Iheanacho (Leicester), Awoniyi (Union Berlin), Chukwueze (Villarreal) and Simon (Nantes) are very restless and pose problems for all the defenses they have encountered since the start of the competition.
