Gambia vs Tunisia Predictions

• Gambia are guaranteed to qualify if they avoid defeat here.
• Gambia have conceded just once across their two AFCON group games so far.
• Tunisia have conceded just once in their opening two tournament matches.

Gambia’s stingy defence key

Just a single point separates these two sides in Group F as Gambia occupy the top spot and Tunisia are sitting in third.

The Gambians ensured they would come into this game unbeaten as they showed their resilience and discipline by coming from behind to salvage a 1-1 against Mali. Tom Stieft will be delighted with the start his team have made to the tournament and will be banging the drum ahead of this huge encounter with a resurgent Tunisia outfit.

Tunisia finally got off the mark in the African Cup of Nations as they secured an emphatic 4-0 win against Mauritania. They were 2-0 up inside the opening 10 minutes and dominated the game thereafter, adding another couple of goals to their tally in the second half. That result was more than needed after they opened their tournament with a 1-0 defeat against Mali and those two results mean that they need to secure a positive result here if they want to guarantee progression.

Goals to be few and far between

We see this being a tight encounter as Gambia look to frustrate Tunisia and grind out a result to ensure their qualification, as such, we think this will be a game of few goals we’re going with there to be fewer than three goals in the match overall. We’d also want to side with Tunisia to pick up a narrow victory here.
