CAN 2021 / Gr. J: Tunisia, arbiter of a three-way battle
Behind Tunisia already qualified, Equatorial Guinea, Libya and Tanzania will try to win the other ticket for CAN 2021 in Cameroon.
Tunisia has already booked for Cameroon. The Carthage Eagles have ensured since November their qualification for a 20th CAN finals. But they could play a key role in the allocation of the other ticket. Because all the other three selections can still hope. And Wahbi Khazri and company will visit Libya (3pts), current last of the group for the account of the 5th day. The Libyans have to win so as not to be eliminated. Any other result would in fact leave them docked. Moreover, anything can be decided during this penultimate round.
Equatorial Guinea on pole
The Equatorial Guinea currently has six points and can qualify from the 25 March. It is enough for him to tame at home Tanzania (4 pts) and that Libya does not win against the Eagles of Carthage. If the Nzalang does not win, it will be necessary to wait for the 6th and last day for the outcome. This scenario could be favorable to Tanzanians who receive Libya. At the same time, Equatorial Guinea will be among the leaders who hardly ever lose at home.
