The Super Eagles will take on the Carthage Eagles in their second group game at the continental showpiece, with both teams seeking for victory to boost their chances at the tournament.
Both teams go into the match on the back of victories in their opening fixture at the tournament, being held in Morocco.

“When you look at the Tanzania game… we were lucky to get away with it.” He stressed that Tunisia will be tougher, adding, “Against Tunisia, it’s not going to be easy… organised, disciplined, and very experienced.”
Both Nigeria and Tunisia stand a chance of securing qualification to the knockout stage of the tournament with victory.
