Tunisia could secure their place at the 2026 World Cup when they travel to Equatorial Guinea on Monday for the Group H qualifying match at Estadio de Malabo.
Entering the eighth matchday, the Eagles of Carthage are seven points ahead of Namibia in second and nine points clear of Monday’s hosts in fourth after defeating Liberia on Thursday.
Equatorial Guinea’s chances of securing automatic World Cup qualification have always been slim after they were punished for fielding an ineligible player, Emilio Nsue, against Namibia and Liberia.
Entering Monday’s game without a loss in four matches, Nzalang Nacional will be confident of ending Tunisia’s unbeaten streak and halting the Eagles of Carthage’s expected progression to next year’s tournament.
That would require the Equatoguineans to break Tunisia’s run of clean sheets in qualifying, with the 2004 African champions keeping every opponent at bay.
Unbeaten in four qualifying matches, the National Thunder are backed to score against Tunisia on Monday and secure a draw against the World Cup-bound Eagles of Carthage in Malabo.
