Tunisia host Botswana at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi on Thursday (September 7) in the final round of the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The hosts have enjoyed a strong qualification campaign, clinching spot in the finals. Tunisia, though, lost 1-0 to Equatorial Guinea in their last group game, failing to register a shot on target. Tunisia are second in Group J with 10 points from five games.
Botswana, meanwhile, have struggled in the qualifiers and will miss out on the continental showpiece for a sixth straight time. They beat Libya 1-0 last time out, with Gape Mohutsiwa scoring the sole goal of the game just before the interval. The visitors are third in the standings with just four points from five games.
