MATCH PREVIEW

Tunisia are looking to start their 2022 World Cup qualifiers campaign strongly when they welcome Equatorial Guinea on Friday. The North Africans are on a good run, with four wins in their last five matches and will hope it extends to these qualifiers. Their only loss in the last 14 matches was in a friendly match against African champions Algeria. That was one of the two matches in 14 in which they failed to score. The home team goes to this game having lost none of the last 13 matches in World Cup qualifiers at home. They also have a run of three wins in their last five meetings with Equatorial Guinea. Tunisia will have good knowledge of their opponents, having been in the same group in the 2021 AFCON qualifiers.



Equatorial Guinea have two losses in their last five matches; both were inflicted by Tunisia. They will be traveling to North Africa hoping to avoid a third straight defeat to the same opponent, but top of their agenda will be an improvement of their away run. In the last 11 away matches in World Cup qualifiers, Equatorial Guinea have no win. They have lost 10 of them and in the most recent one, against South Sudan, they drew 1-1. Equatorial Guinea have three wins in the last nine matches across all competitions and in World Cup qualifiers alone, they have two wins in the last 11. The two wins have come in the last three matches.
