Tunisia vs Libya: team news and expert analysis
Tunisia crashed out of the last AFCON in the round of 16 over the winter, losing to Mali on penalties. Their summer World Cup campaign was a complete failure: after replacing their coach following the opening match, they went on to lose again. They also drew both of their qualifying matches in the autumn.
Libya picked up 16 points from 10 games in World Cup qualifying to finish third in their group. But in the play-off for a place at the Arab Cup, they lost to Palestine on penalties after a 0-0 draw. In the current qualifying campaign, they have drawn with Botswana and lost 1-3 to Uganda.
The World Cup participants score just 0.7 goals per game but concede far more, averaging 2.2. Their modest opponents have a positive record, scoring 1.1 goals per game and conceding 0.8.
