Although Victor Osimhen didn't get in the scoresheet in the opener against Tanzania, he wasn't anything but quiet in that game.
Osimhen attempted seven of Nigeria’s 21 shots against Tanzania, and Tunisia might not be so lucky if they allow the Super Eagles skipper that many chances.
Lookman netted the goal that sealed the game for Nigeria, breaking his 5-game goal drought for club and country.

But while Tunisia must watch out for Lookman and Osimhen, two of the last three African Players of the Year, the Super Eagles' backing must watch Elias Achouri closely.
Achouri netted two against Uganda, making him one of the only three players to score 2+ goals in the 2025 AFCON so far. What's more, the Copenhagen winger now has 5 G/A in his last five games.
