The first edition of the pan-Arab tournament, the FIFA Arab Cup is set to get underway in Qatar, in what is considered a dress rehearsal for the 2022 World Cup. Among the opening matches, Tunisia will be up against fellow African nation Mauritania in Group B. Tunisia go to the game on the back of a great showing in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, and they remain in contention for a place in the competition after topping Group B. They met Mauritania in the same group in the qualifiers and beat them 3-0 at home and drew 0-0 away. Three times in their last five matches, Tunisia have scored two or more goals, and they only failed to score in two of the last five matches, while suffering just one defeat.

Mauritania’s last win was in the Arab Cup qualifiers when they beat Yemen; since then, they’ve gone winless in the last six games. They’ve lost four of those six games, one of them against Tunisia and they’ve failed to score in four of their last five matches, two of those against Tunisia. Mauritania have managed just one goal in their last five matches and have conceded nine. Playing away from home hasn’t offered the best returns for Mauritania; they go to this game with four straight away losses and against this Tunisia side they won’t have it very friendly. They’ve conceded heavily in the last four away matches; letting in 12 goals and failing to score in the last three.
