Tunisia vs Uganda Team News
Tunisia are expected to line up in a structured 4-2-3-1 focused on control and territory. Aymen Dahmen should start in goal behind a physically strong defence led by Dylan Bronn and Montassar Talbi, with Yan Valery and Ali Abdi offering width from full-back. Ferjani Sassi and Ellyes Skhiri anchor midfield, allowing Hannibal Mejbri to operate between the lines, while pace out wide supports Hazem Mastouri as Tunisia look to dominate possession and pin Uganda back.
Uganda are likely to adopt a more conservative 4-2-3-1 built on compactness and discipline. Khalid Aucho will shield the defence alongside Kenneth Semakula, with Allan Okello the main creative outlet. Steven Mukwala leads the line, supported on the break by Rogers Mato and Jude Ssemugabi, as the Cranes aim to frustrate Tunisia, slow the tempo and threaten mainly through transitions and set pieces.

Tunisia vs Uganda Match Prediction
Tunisia open their AFCON 2025 Group C campaign in search of stability after recent tournament disappointments, including a winless group-stage exit last time out. While far removed from their 2004 triumph, the Eagles of Carthage still boast experience, a strong domestic base and the security of already qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Under Sami Trabelsi, this opener offers a chance to reassert control and restore confidence.
Uganda arrive with momentum, returning to AFCON for the first time since 2019 after a competitive qualifying campaign. Organised and resilient under experienced coach Paul Put, the Cranes lack Tunisia’s pedigree but are well-drilled and dangerous in tight games. With Nigeria favoured to top the group, this fixture carries early significance for both sides’ knockout ambitions.
