In five confrontations against Botswana, Tunisia has won only one match in September 2014. The time has undoubtedly come to win a second time.
After two losses in 2010 and a draw in the first leg, last year in particular, it is time for the “Eagles of Carthage” to improve their record of confrontations against the Botswanan “zebras”.
Indeed, Tunisia is in an unfavorable tie with two defeats, two draws and one victory. But these are only statistics that the truth on the ground can deny in a single match, starting this evening. Tunisia presents itself in the skin of the favorite having already qualified and must confirm its rank in the group despite having suffered a bitter defeat in Malabo.
Balance history
Tunisia, which lost the leadership of Group J to Equatorial Guinea, has a slim chance of finishing first on this sixth and final day of the CAN 2024 qualifiers. Above all, we must beat Botswana, already eliminated, and wait for a good result of Libya, against the Equatorial Guinean leader. But it is a match to be won especially to confirm a new ascendancy over the Batswana.
Finally, the goal record is slim with two goalless draws including two consecutively in Gaborone in 2014 and 2022. Botswana having scored 3 goals against 2 for Tunisia, the work of Khazri and Yassine Chikhaoui from the penalty spot. Let’s hope that the spectacle of goals will take place this evening in Radès to delight the audience and that Achouri, Layouni and Rafia will make the powder speak.
