There’s not much of a rivalry to speak of between these two teams. They’re meeting in the Africa Cup of Nations for only the second time.
Over a decade ago, a goalless draw Ghana ensured both of quarter-finals places.
It will be a record-extending 14th straight appearance at the tournament by the Tunisians, who failed to go beyond the group stage only four times.
“Our first target is the quarter-finals and after that we shall see,” says cautious Tunisia coach and 19080s France star Alain Giresse.
“Tunisia have been serious contenders in many Cup of Nations and my dream is take them back to the top,” he said
Angola are a workmanlike side whose star is a wide attacker from Egyptian giants Al Ahly nicknamed Geraldo – real name Hermenegildo da Costa Paulo Bartolomeu.
Tunisia vs Angola: Prediction, head-to-head and TV stream
Prediction
Win probability favours Tunisia, but not that dramatically. They’re given a 56% chance of winning with the draw at 27%. A win for Angola is the least likely result.
Head-to-head
Angola have never beaten Tunisia in their six previous meetings. The Eagles of Carthage have won three and drawn three.
Angola didn’t have the best preparation for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. They played just one friendly – against Guinea-Bissau, which they won 2-0. Tunisia, meanwhile, are ranked the second-best side on the continent and come into the match having won three games on the bounce.
Where and what time to watch
Kick off is at 19:00 (SAST).
In Africa, SuperSport 4 and 10 will broadcast the match and the opening ceremony.
