Gambia vs Tunisia Preview & Tips


Tunisia started the tournament slowly but they were back to their best last time out. I’m backing the North African side to be too good in a low scoring match.

Head to Head


Gambia beat Tunisia 2-1 away in their only previous encounter in 2010.

Gambia Form


Gambia played a number of friendly fixtures prior to AFCON. They beat Niger and Togo and lost to Kosovo and New Zealand.

The Gambians managed to get a 1-0 win over Mauritania in their opening Africa Cup of Nations match. Ablie Jallow was the match winner with his 10th minute goal.

That victory was backed up with a 1-1 draw against Mali in their last match. It was a dramatic end to the match as Mali took the lead with 10 minutes to play before Musa Barrow scored a penalty in the 90th minute.

Gambia Team News


Gambia have no reported injuries after the opening two matches. They need just a point to progress but even with defeat they could still go through. 

Goalkeepers: Baboucarr Gaye, Sheikh Sibi, Modou Jobe
Defenders: Pa Modou Jagne, Omar Colley, James Gomez, Noah Sonko Sundberg, Bubacarr Sanneh, Ibou Touray, Saidy Janko, Mohammed Mbye
Midfielders: Ebrima Sohna, Dawda Ngum, Sulayman Marreh, Ebrima Darboe, Yusupha Bobb, Ebou Adams, Musa Barrow, Ablie Jallow, Steve Trawally, Ebrima Colley
Forwards: Lamin Jallow, Bubacarr Jobe, Assan Ceesay, Muhammed Badamosi, Modou Barrow, Dembo Darboe, Yusupha Njie 

Tunisia Form


Tunisia are third in Group F with a win and a defeat in their opening two matches. A point should be enough to see them into the last 16 but victory will guarantee it.

In their first AFCON match Tunisia suffered a very controversial 1-0 loss to Mali. This after the referee blew the final whistle twice before time was actually up.

Despite that disappointing result, Tunisia bounced back well to thrash Mauritania 4-0 last time out. Hamza Mathlouthi opened the scoring before Wahbi Khazri scored a brace. The scoring was closed by Seifeddine Jaziri.

Tunisia Team News


Tunisia could go into this match unchanged after their impressive performance against Mauritania. A result is needed so they won’t be looking to fiddle with the starting lineup too much.

Defenders: Dylan Bronn, Montassar Talbi , Bilel Ifa, Oussama Haddadi, Omar Rekik, Mohamed Drager, Mohamed Amine Ben Hamida, Hamza Mathlouthi, Ali Maaloul, Ali Abdi.
Midfielders: Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, Aissa Laidouni, Ellyes Skhiri, Ghailene Chaalali, Seif-Eddine Khaoui, Anis Ben Slimane, Hannibal Mejbri, Firas Ben Larbi, Wahbi Khazri, Hamza Rafia, Naim Sliti.
Forwards: Seifeddine Jaziri, Yoann Touzghar, Youssef Msakni.
