Just one round left in the qualifiers and Tunisia has already secured its place in the Africa Cup of Nations. Their final match against Gambia will only be important for maintaining their top spot in the group. This was confirmed by a crucial victory over Madagascar in the previous round, which helped Tunisia bounce back after earning just one point in the two matches before that. While the qualification campaign wasn’t as impressive as expected for a team that was heavily favored, they still got the job done and will be heading to AFCON.
For Gambia, failing to reach the final tournament is a huge disappointment. They had the chance to stay in the race for AFCON with a win against Comoros, but a 2-1 loss meant their hopes were dashed. Gambia’s poor away form is a concern, with only one win in their last 12 away games. This match has little significance for them, other than securing third place in the group ahead of Madagascar.
Tunisia vs Gambia Prediction: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
With the group already decided, there’s little at stake here except for some pride. Tunisia will want to finish the qualifiers with a win and keep hold of first place, which could give them a better draw in the final tournament. Gambia, on the other hand, has struggled to score away goals. In their first meeting, Tunisia won 2-1 in Gambia, and that result seems likely again. However, this time, we expect a slower-paced game with fewer goals. Under 2.5 goals is a solid bet for this match.
