- Venue: Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium
The 2024 Africa Cup of Nation campaign commences on Tuesday evening in Korhogo, Ivory Coast, with a head to head match between Tunisia and Namibia.
Tunisia has been a formidable competitor in the AFCON since securing their first title in 2004. While they haven’t clinched another title since then, they have consistently performed well. Over the past ten editions, they’ve only been knocked out in the group stage twice.
Meanwhile, Namibia is preparing for another infrequent appearance at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Brave Warriors have only competed in the competition three times previously, each time being eliminated at the group stage. Head coach Collin Benjamin hopes to alter this trend in the upcoming event, despite the nation’s recent poor performance &— with only one victory in their last eight matches.
Tunisia vs Namibia Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Tunisia concluded their qualifying campaign at the pinnacle of their group, with a significant amount of credit due to their defence. Conceding only one goal in six matches, Jalal Qaderi’s team heads into this game boasting four clean sheets from their previous four games. The concluding three matches all resulted in less than 2.5 goals.
Namibia has also experienced difficulty scoring goals in their recent matches. In four out of their last five games, the Namibians did not manage to score. Bets on them scoring less than 2.5 goals were successful in all five matches.
The upcoming game on Tuesday will mark the first encounter between these two countries since their friendly match in 2007. Tunisia emerged victorious in that game with a 2-0 scoreline, and a similar result is anticipated this Tuesday evening.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Tunisia vs Namibia prediction: 2-0

Tunisia team news
It is improbable that Tunisia’s head coach, Jalal Qaderi, will make significant alterations to the team that triumphed over Malawi in the World Cup 2026 qualifying round last November.
In his last three competitive games, Youssef Msakni has netted four goals. The 33-year-old is anticipated to once again collaborate in the final third with Taha Yassine Khenissi, who celebrated his 50th international appearance just last month.
The Tunisians will only be without Hadj Mahmoud, their defensive midfielder, due to injury.
