Everything is on the line in Group C at the Africa Cup of Nations as Tanzania face Tunisia with qualification hopes hanging in the balance.
Tanzania enter the final group game after losing 2-1 to Nigeria before battling to a 1-1 draw with Uganda. The Taifa Stars have one point and know a win would seal a historic first-ever knockout place, while a draw may also be enough as a strong third-placed finisher. Form remains a concern, with Tanzania winless in nine matches.
Tunisia, champions in 2004, beat Uganda 3-1 and despite a 3-2 loss to Nigeria, need only a draw. This is their 17th straight AFCON, though Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane is doubtful with injury.
Head-to-head meetings have produced one win and one draw.
