Tunisia - Namibia: Form Analysis
Tunisia are back at the continental stage and their 21st appearance is also their 16th successive one. The Carthage Eagles triumphed in 2004 on home soil to win their first and only AFCON crown. Since then they have only made the semifinals once and this was in the 2019 edition as they finished fourth. As one of the favourites to win it all here, the North Africans will hope for at the very least a last-four finish. In the last edition in 2022, they exited in the quarterfinals. Jalel Kadri’s men, who finished top of their qualifying group, are coming into this opener having not lost in four outings. They have won three times with the most recent victory coming last time out in a build-up match with Cape Verde. Tunisia won 2-0 to keep their fourth successive clean sheet. Namibia and Tunisia have met only once in their history. This was back in 2007 in a friendly that Tunisia won 2-0.
This is Namibia’s fourth AFCON appearance. They last played in the competition in 2019 in Egypt and that appearance broke an 11-year absence from the continental stage. The Brave Warriors have never won a match at the AFCON and have lost seven of the nine games they have played. In 2019, they exited the competition without earning a single point and scored only one goal. Head coach Collin Benjamin was on the pitch the last time Namibia failed to lose at the AFCON. This was in 2008 in a 1-1 draw with Guinea. He and his charges will hope the wait for at least a point ends here. Namibia, who qualified second in their group, have struggled to win matches and have registered only two wins in 11 outings. They drew 0-0 with Ghana last time out in a friendly and now haven’t lost in two outings.

Tunisia will be led by captain Youssef Msakni who is approaching a century of appearances for his country.

Yassine Khenissi and Naim Sliti are others to look out for here.
