And then out of curiosity I searched to know the head-to-head of Nigeria - Tunisia previous matches in the AFCON and from the image the two nations has met 6 times in the AFCON with Nigeria having the reins in the meetings losing just once to the Tunis.

But let concentrate on present nation's form in this tournament, do you all project that Nigeria can extend their dominance by defeating Tunisia in today's match judging by the head-to-head.

These records were when the Eagles were in full formation then, and if you check the score line or records, the goal margin/gap was very big compared to the recent matches both teams had. Although there seems to be improvement on the side of the Tunisia team, I believe the current Eagles are much better in formation to win the Tunis team if they meet again, and it would be a clean record this time that the Tunis team could not be able to win the Eagles in their AFCON league.

From the previous meetings Nigeria have been outstanding but these currently Tunisia team is not weak so thd super eagles needs to be very careful they shouldn't miss their chances like they did with Tanzania so they'll score more goals and I hope Bassey passes the ball to
Chukwueze when the opportunity arises.  

 The super eagles should remember their promise to us, they said they'll do better in this tournament, although they started well against Tanzania but they should keep it up and try to win Tunisia too, it would make much sense to qualify as leaders of our group.

Let be honest it's unfair in the place that Salah is being relegated to in the Liverpool team and after watching how he performed in this AFCON game against South Africa, giving his nation the only goal to victory. I think it would be a whole lot of shame on Liverpool should Salah take his national team to the AFCON finals and even winning it after he hasn't being getting those playing time in his club as he ought to. On the Egyptian team entirely, it was a wonderful victory despite the red card they still secured all 3 points.

He wasn't giving his best so the coach had to bench him, there's no issues between salah and the coach and I believe that from his performance so far in the AFCON tournament the coach would be convinced that bringing Salah back to the starting lineup is the best decision, anyways I'm not surprised that he's doing well for his country, he's the most outstanding player and doing all he can to carry the team along.

What I just understand is that, some seasons are not just good for some players, although poor for might not affect some players throughout the whole season, sometimes it does too, the season is not over yet, i still believe that, Salah can make it back to his good form if he's been given more time by their manager but the question is, do the manager have such time, the manager is also facing pressure from the club management and he will try all the option available to prove a point in the club, aside Salah being the one the player other national team member is looking up to, he came with all his mind to play for his country and he's dedicated to that course.

Super Eagles really need to be very careful against this Tunisian team, they are not to be looked down upon. In the last AFCON we were eliminated by the Tunisians so the boys should take this game very serious, we have to win them convincingly, it’s important we top this group to qualify for better chances in the knockout stages.
This Tunisians and the whole of the North African teams have a good defence so our coach should consider playing Our players who can dribble very well and are creative.

I don't think its okey predicting Nigeria game based on there previous meetings but with there current situation. The super eagles of Nigeria is the only team that loses consistency when all expect them to put up there best but gain momentum when not needed, so lets just wait and see what the Nigerian team will do at the right time. Although the super eagles of Nigeria are considered favourite to win the game but if only they will stand to there feat and prove there worth at last to come out victoriously as expected.

Of course, the Nigeria team must be extremely careful with this match, no team should be underestimated in football. Since the Super Eagles team lost a match against Tunisia earlier, they will have to play more carefully and become stronger. However, I believe that our boys will definitely win against Tunisia and they will move forward in the equation of qualifying for the knockout stage.
Yes, Tunisia's performance is very good at the moment, in that case, they will definitely attack strongly to be at the top of the points table. However, the Nigeria team must react to this very well and if the coach leads well and can make the team play strongly, they will definitely be at the top of the points table. However, for this match, the team will have to play with very good tactics so that the players can use their creativity to win the match.

In the last AFCON we were eliminated by the Tunisians so the boys should take this game very serious,

I think you are wrong here, you should be saying that the last time they met, our super eagles were eliminated by the Tunisians in the quarter final rounds, if am not mistaken, because in the last edition of the African nations cup which took place at ivory Coast, the Nigerian national team was beaten 2-1 in the finals by ivory Coast, and ivory Coast was crown champions.

we have to win them convincingly, it’s important we top this group to qualify for better chances in the knockout stages.

We don't need to be too convincing mate, they are also a top team, so you don't expect them to seat around doing nothing like most of these smaller teams.
What we just need is to claim the whole three points, even though it ends one goal to nil, then it's fine

This Tunisians and the whole of the North African teams have a good defence so our coach should consider playing Our players who can dribble very well and are creative.

You observation is true, from Egypt, Algeria, morroco to this Tunisians, they are very good defensively, but if their is any team that has the attacking prowess to breach their defense when at their best is our super eagles, don't forget that we have victor osimhen, and you can also attest to that, that no central forwarder is as good as him right now in Africa, so if our super eagles can perform better than average, I don't see them losing to this Tunisians this evening.

From Mohamed Salah's statement before he went for the African Cup of Nations, Mohamed Salah will likely not play for Liverpool next season.

That’s what everyone thinks. Mo may be going to the Saudi league in the summer or even January window. If Mo joins Al-Nassr, he will be playing alongside former teammate Sadio Mane. I’d love to see thr duo play again.

Also, I don’t think Arne Slot’s job is guaranteed next year, especially if Salah leaves and the team is still shit.

A club in the Saudi Pro League wanted to sign Mohamed Salah in the summer transfer window, but Mohamed Salah wasn't interested in playing in the Saudi Pro League, and that made the deal collapse. But since there's a problem between Mohamed Salah and Arne Slot, the Saudi Pro League is definitely the next destination for Mohamed Salah if Arne Slot remains as Liverpool's head coach. Al-Nassr already has so many super stars, so I think they will not be interested in signing Mohamed Salah in the summer.

After winning the league with Liverpool last season, Salah never wanted to leave the club, hoping he would win another Premier League trophy with the club. If he had known, he would have left the club for good and focused on making money.

I think he has no plans on leaving the club until this season ends. After the AFCON, he should get ready for the next season; much is expected from him.

Well, thanks for bringing this, but this your image is not for the current Super Eagles and the Current Tunisia team. When the current Super Eagles Teammates would Play well, we will know and appreciate them, but foe now I doubt if they can win Tunisia. As for now we can't use that previous head to head to judge this present team. Super Eagles has not performed incredible for the fans to praise them and support them fully. Once they do, all those people who are against them now will start to support them. We will see how they are going to perform this evening by 9:00pm.

 Senegal have found it hard to beat past the defense of Congo and get a goal, since it seems like they are more concerned about absorbing every attack that Senegal brings to them. It was only one shot on target that was registered in the first half so let's hope that Senegal can come back, or I wonder whether Congo would be willing to take a risk and become offensive as well.

[Jessie2121]

With how slow Senegal are playing I think they can go far because last AFCON they were too good and fast but could not get to the final even when many saw them as the favorite they went off the tournament and Nigeria faced the host Ivory Coast, I would have loved to see Senegal in that final. This encounter they had so many opportunities to change the scoreline in the first half which doesn't send a good message to the fans, they only have this second half to get the ball into the back of the net.

Senegal currently is losing by 0:1 against DRC if this game ends this way it will be a surprising result of this Afcon because even though DRC is a good team they were not the favorite going into this game. DRC has been able to hold their own against a Senegalese team that is charactarized by stars players. DRC has really improved their football because it's obvious with the kind of achievement that are doing. They are at the brink of qualifying for the world cup as they will be playing in the playoffs.


Senegal should try and get a good result from this game because losing to DRC will not be a good result for a team like Senegal because they are one of the favorite going into this Afcon.

Didn’t Mo Salah visit Saudi Arabia just before going for the AFCON? Although there has not been any official link of Al-Nassr to Salah, other Saudi clubs like Al-Hilal, and Al-Qadisah have shown interest in the player and if he wins the AFCON, Liverpool are going to sell him for a high fee.

 The super eagles should remember their promise to us, they said they'll do better in this tournament, although they started well against Tanzania but they should keep it up and try to win Tunisia too, it would make much sense to qualify as leaders of our group.

The match against Tanzania was easier for the eagles than what they expected. If you see the odds for the match, chances were similar for both teams. What happened is that Tanzania showed a very weak performance against Tunisia who had never thought to make threa goals. Tunisia won the match because Tanzania is weak not because she is strong.

The match today will reveal the right level of the eagles but it can be said that they are lucky to play the match satisfied with the result of the last match. I placed a bet of correct score 3-1 for Nigeria.

Well one thing I know is that Egypt most definitely need the assistance of salah and he has shown that in the two games that he has featured, I mean the man is just an outstanding player and he has shown this times without number and I believe he can and will replicate the same performance at club level too if only the coach and him will just settle their different and start featuring the man alot often and he will see the magic that mo salah will produce because as it's stand currently Liverpool too really need him in full form .

[Mayor of ogba]

It's not Mohamed Salah's fault if Arne Slot thinks he wasn't giving his best or performing as expected because the whole Liverpool players was under performing, and there's no way Mohamed Salah would perform well when Liverpool isn't playing as a team. There was a disagreement between Mohamed Salah and Arne Slot, which made Jamie Carragher to attack Mohamed Salah, but it seems they have settled their beef.

In as much as Liverpool may be motivated by the high fees their expected from Salah sells, we shouldn't forget to point at something that the club may consider before selling salah off to any speculated Saudi clubs, Liverpool have no perfect replacement in place so their will definitely be lazy to sell him now, at least in some extent.

It was only one shot on target that was registered in the first half so let's hope that Senegal can come back, or I wonder whether Congo would be willing to take a risk and become offensive as well.

Although Senegal ended up with a draw against DR Congo, they are in a comfortable position in their group. They simply need to ensure the beat or draw Benin Republic and they are sure to qualify for the next round. They have less work to do because there is no way they are going to lose to Benin Republic. I think they will want to win the match to retain their first position in group D but this will depend on the goal margin and what DR Congo plays with Botswana.

Well I might want to say it not wrong also not bad to use their past wins to predict Thier progress in the games tonight, yes you are right I have noticed such that anytime much hope is been lay down for them to win the game, that is the moment they began to do worse passing and other fuck up in the pitch....but I just hope in them that this time around it going to be a different story I can say for a fact that the super eagles might make us smile this season, hope mother luck rain down her smiles on them this time around because they have really work so very for it...
