Tunisia take on Namibia in the round 1 match of Africa Cup of Nations group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 16th at Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium (Korhogo).
19 years ago, Tunisia became the champion of Africa, and perhaps now the Tunisian squad is strong enough, with representatives from European leagues. Looking back at the previous World Cup just over a year ago, Tunisia drew 0-0 with strong Danes and defeated the French 1-0. In preparation for this tournament, the national team played two friendly matches, defeating Cape Verde 2-0 and surprisingly drawing 0-0 against Mauritania. The group is challenging, with South Africa and Mali alongside Tunisia and Namibia in Group E. There is no room for relaxation, and to secure a spot in the top 2, Tunisia needs to showcase its best game from the beginning of the championship. Namibia is undoubtedly the underdog in the group, and Tunisia, based on its class, should start this championship with a victory.

Namibia is not considered a serious force in African football and tends to play defensively in each match. It's quite common for matches involving Namibia to end in a 0-0 draw. It is expected that Namibia will adopt a similar tactic in the current tournament. Playing defensively against Tunisia will be challenging since Tunisia is one of the most attacking teams in the African continent. Namibia had an average year in 2023, facing opponents like Burundi and Eswatini. In this group, Namibia clearly appears to be the weakest team, and it is unlikely that the team can contend for advancement from the group stage.
Tunisia excels in attacking play and knows how to break through sturdy defensive lines. Tunisia's defense is solid, and it's uncertain whether Namibia can find a way to the opponent's goal. Consider the handicap (-1) on Tunisia as your betting option. At the very least, this bet should have a good chance of yielding a return.
Prediction for the match: Tunisia to win with -1.0 handicap.
