Group F of the Nations Cup will witness a fierce Clash between Gambia and Tunisia at the Limbe Omnisport Stadium on Thursday. Both sides are separated by one point with the Gambia leading the way in the group with 4 points, one more than Tunisia.
GAMBIA
The Gambia began their campaign on a promising note with a 1-0 win over fellow West Africans Mauritania in their first game in Cameroon. They followed that up with a 1-1 draw against Mali a few days later to bag four points out of a possible six in their first two games.
Against Mali, the Scorpions showed their toughness coming from a goal down with 10 minutes left to play to nick a point of Mali with a well-taken penalty.
If the Gambians are able to avoid a defeat on Thursday, they will progress as Group winners in their first-ever appearance at the African Cup of Nations.
For this game, Tom Saintfiet is likely to be without Levski Sofia defender Noah Sonko Sundberg, after he was substituted following an injury against Mali. This means Saidy Jank who came on for him in the last game could get a starter’s berth.
The Gambia are close to making history, and they will most likely go through.
TUNISIA
Tunisia suffered a setback in their opening game of the tournament but made a return in their second game to earn a resounding 4-0 win over Mauritania.
The Carthage Eagles were rampant on the night with goals coming from Hamza Mathlouthi, Wahbi Khazri and Seffiedine Jaziri who scored a brace.
It could have been worse for the Mauritanians but Youssef Msakni missed from the spot in the closing moments of the game.
Tunisia have to win the game to keep their destiny in their own hands. However, they will have to reproduce the form they showed in their last match if they are to get the better of the Gambians – who are high on confidence.
Seifeddine Jaziri was taken out moments after he completed his brace and he is likely to sit out this match.
