TUN vs NGA Dream11 Prediction: In the match for the 3rd place in Africa Cup of Nations, Tunisia will face Nigeria. Both the teams suffered a narrow defeat in the semi-finals. Tunisia suffered heartbreak after conceding an own goal in extra time to lose 1-0, while Nigeria was outdone by a brilliant direct free-kick from Riyad Mahrez in the 94th minute to go down 1-2.
Tunisia would be disappointed by the result, however, they would take confidence from how they kept the pressure on the opposition throughout the 120 minutes. The game was managed by Ellyes Skhiri and his colleague in the midfield Ayman Ben Mohamed. Striker Taha Khenissi would surely be the key man for his team with his decent enough finishing skills.
The Super Eagles didn’t play the game they would have liked, however, their midfield kept them in hunt throughout. Samuel Chukwueze kept creating chances from the right, while Ahmed Musa was destructive on the left wing. They will be once again backing Odion Ighalo’s finishing skills to seal the deal for them.
