Namibia vs Tunisia Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup

Prediction published on 09/06/2024, 03:11  by Daniel Ngulu in World Cup Predictions

Namibia will still be in Johannesburg where they’ll play host to Tunisia in their next 2026 World Cup qualification match. The two nations meet on Sunday separated by two points in Group H, Tunisia leading with nine and Namibia second. Heading to Match Day 4, Namibia will be looking to bounce back after their 1-1 draw with Liberia on Wednesday. That result left Namibia without a win in their last five matches, and they lost two of the five. They also failed to score in three of their last five matches though there’s some improvement with two goals in their last two games. The Southern Africa nation’s low scoring nature has to be a concern as they target going top of Group H. They managed more than a goal in just two of their last 13 matches. While there are concerns in attack, the fact that Namibia only conceded more than a goal in two of their last 11 matches should be looked at as a positive. Like their two matches against Tunisia in history, most of their recent outings have returned low scores. In Namibia’s last 11 matches, only three saw at least three goals scored while four ended goalless.

Tunisia have the chance to open up a five point gap and make a big step towards securing a World Cup ticket. The North Africans rarely fail to make it to the World Cup and here they have set themselves at an advantage. Beating Equatorial Guinea 1-0 at home on Wednesday granted Tunisia their third straight win in these qualifiers. It also meant they haven't conceded in any of their opening three Group H matches, and have now scored six times. With a six-match unbeaten run in World Cup qualification, carrying five wins, Tunisia are well placed as favorites going into this game. They haven't even conceded a goal in their last five matches in World Cup qualifiers, while only failing to score in one. In their last 18 World Cup qualification matches, Tunisia have suffered just one loss, away to Equatorial Guinea. Playing this one away from home won’t faze the Carthage Eagles, as they won their last two World Cup qualifiers away from home. The concern though, will be that they do not score a lot on the road in these qualifiers.
