Former Nigerian international, Ahmed Garba, has expressed confidence that the Super Eagles will secure all three points when they face Tunisia in tonight’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Group C clash.
Both teams head into the encounter having won their opening matches, Nigeria defeated Tanzania, while Tunisia overcame Uganda, meaning a victory for either side would guarantee progression to the round of 16.
Speaking to Footy Africa, Garba highlighted his belief that the Super Eagles are ready to raise their level against the Carthage Eagles.
“Against Tunisia, the boys have to be brave and take the game to them. I remember our last meeting with Tunisia at the AFCON in Cameroon, where we won all our group games but ended up losing to them. That red card to Alex Iwobi was painful and played a big role in our defeat, even though I felt we were the better team on the day.
“I reckon the boys, especially those who were in Cameroon, will be fired up and seeking some form of revenge. I am sure it will be on their minds.
“I believe we will see a better performance against Tunisia, and the boys will take the three points and go top of the group.”
