"This game is not going to be easy. Tunisia is a great team, and they have a lot of good players, both experienced and young ones. They play well as a team. We want to win too, but the most important thing is to qualify from the group."
"Playing the second match after winning the first one is certainly big motivation for the players and gives them greater confidence. Tomorrow we face one of the strongest national teams in Africa. We are determined to achieve a positive result that will help us qualify for the next round before the final group match against Tanzania."
"Our qualification for the World Cup and Nigeria's failure to qualify gives us no advantage. We don't deal with assumptions. We deal with seriousness and focus in every match and against every opponent."
Nigeria and Tunisia both opened Group C with victories, setting up a decisive Fes match where the winner will be close to securing a knockout-stage place. Nigeria beat Tanzania while Tunisia defeated Uganda 3-1, giving both teams strong starts in the group. Tunisia has already qualified for next summer's World Cup; Nigeria has not, though that status is not expected to influence tomorrow's match. Tunisia reports no new injury problems and is likely to retain the same starting eleven after their win. Victor Osimhen is fit and expected to lead Nigeria's attack. Predicted lineups include Nwabali and Osimhen for Nigeria and Dahmen for Tunisia.
