Tunisia preview: Looking for their third win in the qualifiers
While Tunisia have won both of their games in WC qualifiers so far, it's been a while since those matches have been played. Still, they are the clear favourites against Equatorial Guinea who have lost both of their matches, but Tunisia's fans and players still remember their loss to this rival in the AFCON 2023 qualifiers.
So, Tunisia will have to give their best if they want to beat Equatorial Guinea on Wednesday.

Equatorial Guinea preview: Hoping to avoid another loss
While Equatorial Guinea did have a great time at AFCON 2023 earlier this year where they reached the Round of 16 and showed some quality football, things are far from good when it comes to their WC qualifiers campaign.
Equatorial Guinea have lost both of their matches in the group and their chances of getting to the next stage of qualifiers are already pretty slim, with another loss likely ending all of their hopes.
Predicted lineup: Owono (GK), Ndong, Coco, E. Obiang, Akpo, Ganet, P. Obiang, Miranda, Nlavo, Siafa & Salvador

Player to watch: Seifeddine Jaziri
With 10 goals in Tunisia national team, Jaziri is one of their top scorers. In fact, no player in the current squad has scored more goals for Tunisia than Jaziri, so he's our player to watch in this game.
Can Jaziri score after a while?
The last time Jaiziri found the net in Tunisia's jersey was back in 2022, so he's been a bit cold recently. Can he end this dry spell against Equatorial Guinea?
