Tunisia host Libya on Friday in Sfax at 5pm in the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifiers, after two disappointing opening matches for coach Mouine Chaâbani. Only one team in the group will qualify, and the return match is scheduled for Tripoli, according to La Presse de Tunisie.

Tunisia face Libya on Friday in Sfax, as part of the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifiers, according to La Presse. After two draws against Uganda and Botswana, played in Radès, the squad of Mouine Chaâbani, its coach, has already lost four points. In this group, only one team will qualify for the tournament.

The daily notes that the Tunisian defence conceded three goals in those two matches and that the coach fielded unconvincing players, such as Sassi, Talbi, Maâloul or Dahmen. According to La Presse, victory is essential before a return match in Tripoli a few days later, and a series of three away fixtures.
