Tanzania vs Tunisia Prediction and Betting Tips | December 30th 2025

Tanzania will face Tunisia at the Rabat Olympic Stadium on Tuesday in the third round of the group stages of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations campaign. The Taifa Stars are yet to get going at the continental showpiece and must win on Tuesday if they are to stand a chance of advancing from Group C.

After losing 2-1 to Nigeria in their opening game last week, Tanzania locked horns with Uganda on Saturday and looked set to reverse their fortunes after taking the lead in the 50th minute. However, they were pegged back in the 80th minute and were fortunate not to lose the match in stoppage time, as their opponents squandered a penalty, leaving the game to end 1-1.

Tunisia, meanwhile, cruised past Uganda in their group opener with a 3-1 victory. The Eagles of Carthage then went toe-to-toe with Nigeria in their second game on Saturday but lost 3-2, having found themselves three goals down midway through the second half before raising their level to reduce the deficit through goals from Montassar Talbi and Ali Abdi, ultimately coming away empty-handed.

Tunisia now sit second in Group C with three points and will advance to the next round with a win on Tuesday, while a draw could also be enough.

Tanzania vs Tunisia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Tuesday's game will mark just the third meeting between the two teams.
• The two teams last faced off in a World Cup qualifying clash in November 2020, which ended in a 1-1 draw after Tunisia had previously won the reverse fixture 1-0.
• Tunisia are one-time winners of the Africa Cup of Nations, having lifted the continental crown in 2004, and have also finished as runners-up twice, in 1965 and 1996.
• Tanzania, meanwhile, have never progressed past the group stages of the tournament.

Tanzania vs Tunisia Prediction

The Taifa Stars are winless in their last eight games heading into Tuesday’s fixture. They sit 71 places below their midweek opponents in the latest FIFA World Rankings and face a tough challenge if they are to get anything from this match.

The Eagles of Carthage will draw confidence from their strong finish against Nigeria last time out and should channel that momentum into a victory against a significantly weaker opponent.

Prediction: Tanzania 1-2 Tunisia
