Nigeria have shown defensive vulnerabilities recently, conceding at least one goal in six of their last seven matches. Even against a modest Tanzania side, the back line looked uncertain at times, with individual mistakes particularly from Bassey creating dangerous situations.

Tunisia, on the other hand, prefer a possession-based approach and are likely to control large phases of the game. With that style, they should be able to create several scoring opportunities against a Nigerian defence that has struggled for consistency.

From an overall perspective, Tunisia appear slightly more balanced as a team at the moment. However, Nigeria still possess significant attacking quality and remain capable of scoring against any opponent.
