World Cup Qualification CAF

Tunisia

Namibia

Tunisia host Namibia at Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi (Radès) on 13 October 2025 at 13:00 GMT in a Round 10 World Cup Qualification football fixture. Referee: Issa Sy (Senegal). The Carthage Eagles have already sealed top spot in Group H, while the Brave Warriors sit second and need a result to keep playoff hopes alive.

With Tunisia’s place secured, head coach Sami Trabelsi may rotate selectively particularly in goal yet keep the core back four intact. Namibia’s incentive is clear: a compact plan, quick outlets to Peter Shalulile, and set-piece focus to break a streak of goalless H2H meetings.

BETTING TIPS AND MATCH INSIGHTS

Our Tunisia vs Namibia prediction today is framed by contrasting incentives and defensive records. Tunisia have won eight of nine qualifiers and haven’t conceded in the campaign; Namibia’s second-place standing carries jeopardy given their lower ranking among runners-up. Expect Tunisia to manage tempo and territory, with Namibia relying on counters and restarts. Game state matters: an early Tunisian goal tilts this toward a low-scoring home win. Market angles gravitate to Tunisia and unders if lineups confirm a near-first-choice back line.

Tunisia Results

Tunisia combine relentless qualifying form with occasional friendly blips. Clean sheets are the theme in official matches, built on a stable defensive unit and controlled possession phases.

Tunisia’s qualifiers show defensive perfection: three straight WC clean sheets with 10-0 aggregate across those fixtures. The Egypt friendlies (L, L) are outliers driven by rotation and context rather than structural weakness. In competitive play, ball recovery and box protection are elite. Set-piece delivery plus wide overloads generate steady xG without overextending. Expect measured control rather than chaos.

Namibia Results

Namibia’s qualifying run mixes clean wins at home with sharper opposition exposing defensive gaps away. Their second-place status masks volatility, especially when conceding first.

When Namibia keep games low-event at home, results follow; away, defensive transitions are vulnerable. Shot creation leans on Shalulile’s movement and second phases. Early concessions force them open and reduce efficiency. Set plays remain their best leveller. Managing the first 30 minutes is pivotal to avoid a chase state.

Head-to-Head: Tunisia vs Namibia (recent meetings)

The series is Tunisian-leaning historically, but recent results have been tight and low-scoring.

Four straight H2H without both teams scoring underline a recurring pattern: Tunisia control, Namibia contain. The ACN 2024 upset warns against complacency, but qualifiers skew back to Tunisian strengths.

Probable Lineups Football starting XIs

Projected XIs based on the brief; confirm one hour before kickoff for bet placement.

Tunisia (4-1-4-1): Ben Said (GK), Abdi (DF), Talbi (DF), Meriah (DF), Valery (DF), Skhiri (MF), Gharbi (MF), Mahmoud (MF), Belarbi (MF), Sassi (MF), Chaouat (FW)

Namibia (4-4-2): Ndisiro (GK), Kamberipa (DF), Hambira (DF), Katua (DF), Hanamub (DF), Leevi (MF), Stephanus (MF), Petrus (MF), Hotto (MF), Amutenya (FW), Shalulile (FW)

Unavailable Players

Minor Tunisian rotation (especially GK) should not degrade the backline cohesion. Namibia’s continuity supports structure but caps bench impact late.

What to Watch Before You Bet

Use this checklist to frame pre-match edges and live pivots:

• Tunisia: 8 wins in 9 qualifiers, top of Group H, already qualified;
• Zero goals conceded in this qualifying campaign per brief context;
• Namibia second in the group but lowest-ranked runner-up result urgency is high;
• Four straight H2H without both teams scoring; three recent H2H under 2.5;
• Tunisia’s back four continuity (Abdi-Talbi-Meriah-Valery) stabilizes xGA;
• Namibia’s away defensive transitions are the stress point, especially after conceding;
• Referee Issa Sy: consider early read on foul tolerance for cards/penalties props;
• Possible Tunisia rotation in goal, but defensive shell should remain first-choice.

Free Tips on Tunisia vs Namibia

Below are deeper, matchup-specific suggestions that extend beyond the checklist and aim to translate tendencies into actionable plays:

• Tunisia Win to Nil (price-dependent): The combination of elite backline structure and Namibia’s away shot quality supports a shutout pathway if Tunisia score first;
• Under 2.5 (or Tunisia -0 & Under 3.5 same-game): Recent H2H and Tunisia’s low-event control in qualifiers argue for a narrow home win within a tight goal band;
• Namibia Under 0.5: Given Tunisia’s no-goals-conceded trend in qualifiers, backing the visitors to blank aligns with defensive indicators and game-state expectation;
• Tunisia to Score from a Set Play: Talbi/Meriah aerial presence plus service from wide/halves increases restart xG against a deep 4-4-2;
• If 0-0 at HT: Consider Tunisia ML or Tunisia -0.25 live as fatigue opens half-spaces; alternatively, small exposure on late Under lines if Tunisia keep full control without converting.

Match Prediction 2025 Tunisia vs Namibia

Given form and structure, the Tunisia vs Namibia odds are justified in shading heavily toward the hosts. Tunisia’s qualifying body of work clean sheets, repeatable chance creation from structured possession, and set-piece leverage sets a high defensive floor. Namibia’s route to an upset requires early high-quality transition chances to Shalulile and exploiting any Tunisian complacency if rotation takes hold. However, Tunisia rarely lose field position at Radès and compress matches into low-variance states once ahead. Expect the hosts to methodically accumulate territory, force corners and dangerous free kicks, and protect rest-defense to snuff out counters. If Namibia do not score first, probabilities consolidate around a controlled home win with limited total goals.
