Tunisia national team coach, Hatem Missaoui, has warned his players to brace up for a tougher challenge when they confront Nigeria in their second game of the African Nations Championship in Rwanda.

The Tunisian team which drew 2-2 with Guinea on Monday, will take on Nigeria on Friday as they seek their first victory in the group while Nigeria will be hoping for a win that will take them to the semifinal after their 4-1 victory against Niger.

“Nigeria is one of the favourites to win this (CHAN) competition,” he said. “It is going to be hard when we take on the Eagles on Friday.

“We are disappointed with the result, but we have to pick ourselves up and get ready for the game against Super Eagles.” he said after the post match conference.

He added that the players must step up their game duo to the precarious situation in the group.

“The result has put us in a must win game against Nigeria, but we must be very efficient if we really want to win the game.

“We must try not to concede against Nigeria as they are a very good side and capable of punishing you if you are not careful as a team,” he added.
