Tunisia vs Mauritania Preview & Tips


Tunisia will be desperate for all three points after losing their opener. They have far better quality and recently beat these opponents 5-1. It should be a lot tighter this time around but a Tunisia win to nil has value.

Head to Head


Tunisia lead 7-0 in their 10 matches against Mauritania. There have been three draws.

When they met in the Arab Cup a few weeks ago, Tunisia won 5-1.

Tunisia Form


Tunisia recently reached the final of the Arab Cup where they lost 2-0 after extra time to Algeria. The tournament was played without any overseas based players.

Prior to that Tunisia topped their World Cup Qualifying group. They won four and drew one of their six matches and only conceded two goals in the process.

Despite their good form recently, Tunisia suffered a surprise and controversial defeat to Mali in their AFCON opener. The 1-0 loss puts huge pressure on Tunisia to get all three points in this match.

Tunisia Team News


Tunisia won’t look to make wholesale changes. They may however opt for Saif-Eddine Khaoui in attack after coming on at half time in the last match.

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.

Mauritania Form


Mauritania played in the recent Arab Cup, beginning with a 5-1 defeat to Tunisia. That was followed by a 1-0 loss to UAE before beating Syria 2-1.

The side played two pre-AFCON friendlies as they drew 0-0 with Burkina Faso and 1-1 with Gabon.

Going into the match against Gambia at AFCON, Mauritania would have been confident of getting something. They lost 1-0 but arguably deserved more given the chances created.

Mauritania Team News


The AFCON debutants may opt to go in unchanged. They impressed against Gambia despite the defeat.

Goalkeepers: Babacar Diop, Mbacke Ndiaye, Mohamed El Mokhtar
Defenders: Abdoul Ba, Diadie Diarra, El Hassen Houbeibib, Harouna Abou Demba, Souleymane Karamoko, Aly Abeid, Houssen Abderrahmane, Abdoulkader Thiam
