Tunisia vs Namibia: Pre-Match Facts
Tunisia are predicted as big favourites for this Group E game by the Opta supercomputer, which considers their win probability to be 61%.
This will be the first encounter between Tunisia and Namibia at the Africa Cup of Nations. They last faced each other in a November 2007 friendly, which Tunisia won 2-0 at home.
This is Tunisia’s 21st participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, and their 16th in a row, the latter being a record in the history of the tournament. Their only AFCON title dates back to 2004 as hosts. Since then, they’ve progressed past the quarter-finals just once, in 2019, losing in the third-place match.
Tunisia have failed to win any of their last four opening matches at the Africa Cup of Nations (D2 L2). The last time they were victorious in their first game at an edition of the tournament was in 2013 against Algeria (1-0).
None of Tunisia’s last eight matches at the AFCON have ended in a draw (W3 L5) – their last stalemate was against Ghana in the round of 16 in the 2019 edition.

Match Preview
Anything other than progress from Group E will be a major disappointment for Tunisia, who begin their Africa Cup of Nations campaign on Tuesday against one of the least-fancied teams in the whole tournament, Namibia, at Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium in Korhogo.
