Tunisia plays a large part of its future in the Arab Nations Cup this Thursday by facing Palestine for the second day of Group A.
Beaten by Syria when they entered the competition (0-1), the Carthage Eagles no longer have the slightest room for error at the Lusail stadium. The match will start at 3:30 p.m. and will be refereed by American Ismail Elfath.
Expected reaction after a failed entry
Coach Sami Trabelsi has clearly set the course: he expects an immediate reaction from his players. According to him, the state of mind displayed during training suggests a start, with the group wishing to correct an initial performance deemed insufficient. Tunisia is also recovering several elements who arrived late in Qatar and are now rested, reinforcement deemed valuable to bring intensity and freshness.
A Palestine launched with confidence
Faced with the Tunisians, Palestine presents itself in full dynamic. Its surprise victory against the host country, Qatar (1-0), redesigned the hierarchy of the group and placed the Palestinian selection at the top, tied with Syria. With three points in their pocket, the Palestinians approach this duel without the same pressure as their opponent of the day.
Group issues and growing pressure
The other match of the day will pit Syria against Qatar already threatened with elimination, starting at 6:00 p.m. For Tunisia, the mission is clear: win to stay alive in this group A where the slightest failure is paid for in cash. A new setback would greatly complicate its ambitions, making this meeting against Palestine a first turning point in its journey.
The Tunisia – Palestine match will be broadcast by the channels beIN Sports ar 1 unencrypted, Al Kass 1, AD Sports 1, Dubai Sports 1 and beIN Sports fr 4.
