Tunisia welcome Mauritania in a Group B encounter on Matchday three of the FIFA World Cup 2022 African qualifiers Round two. The two sides are at the opposite ends of the group. While Tunisia find themselves at the top with two wins in a row and amassing six points on board, Mauritania are yet to open their account in round two of qualification with two defeats in as many games. Tunisia come into the fixture with convincing wins over Equatorial Guinea and Zambia with 3-0 and 2-0 scorelines. Mondher Kebaier’s side have been defensively solid at the back, keeping four clean sheets in their last five matches. Tunisia also boast a three-game winning streak, coming into the fixture.

Mauritania have lost both their opening group fixtures to Zambia and Equatorial Guinea with 2-1 and 1-0 score lines respectively. They come into the game with a woeful record in away matches. Mauritania have won just one out of their last twelve away fixtures across all competitions. The visitors have an underwhelming head to head record against the home side. Mauritania have never beaten Tunisia. Tunisia have won ten games against Mauritania while three games between the two sides have ended up as draws. With such a one-sided head to head record against the visitors, Corentin Martins’ men have an uphill challenge against Tunisia.
