Tunisia vs Sao Tome and Principe - Preview & Predictions | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying (CAF)
Nov 17, 2023 published · Nov 17, 2023 modified
KEY STATS
· Tunisia have lost only one of their last 16 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches (W11 D4).
· Tunisia have not lost a FIFA World Cup qualifying match at home since a 2-1 defeat against Burkina Faso in June 2008 (W13 D4 since then).
· Tunisia have kept seven clean sheets in their last nine FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
São Tomé and Príncipe have won only two of their previous ten FIFA World Cup qualifying matches (D1 L7).
THE PREDICTION
Tunisia qualified for both the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups with the north Africans looking to make it three successive qualifications for the second time in their history. Jalel Kadri’s ‘Eagles of Carthage’ defeated France last winter but have been generally average since then with two comfortable defeats to South Korea and Japan in the October international break. Sao Tome e Principe are winless in their last seven matches with two draws and five defeats. Those seven games have seen them concede an astonishing 29 goals. A heavy Tunisian victory, especially in Tunis, is expected for this one.
BETTING TIP: TUNISIA TO WIN & OVER 2.5 GOALS
