Tunisia look to book Russia 2018 ticket against Guinea

By Daily Sports on October 4, 2017

Tunisia will be hopeful that Saturday evening sees tho;s World Cup when they play Guinea in Conakry for their penultimate qualifying clash.

The Group A match is set for the Stade du 28 Septembre, kick-off at 7pm CAT (SA, GMT+2).

The North Africans hold a three-point advantage over nearest challengers DR Congo at the top of the log and can secure qualification through one of two scenarios: if they win away to Guinea and DRC fail to win away to Libya; or if they draw and DRC lose.

Regardless, Carthage Eagles coach Nabil Maaloul will want his troops fully focused on the mission of beating Guinea in Conakry, which will be no easy task: the Syli Nationale defeated Libya 3-2 at the end of August in their last home game and will be tough opponents, even if they have been mathematically eliminated.

Tunisian defender Syam Ben Youssef is upbeat about his team’s chances of winning away from home, but acknowledges that Guinea pose a significant threat.

“Our destiny is in our own hands, but it's always difficult in Africa. I don't think Guinea will give up, even though they're already eliminated,” he told Fifa.com.

“They want to win games, have their say and give a good account of themselves. We need to want the victory more because we're playing to qualify for the World Cup.

“That happens maybe once in your life, maybe never. It would be fantastic to represent my country and family at a World Cup." © Backpage TXT
