Having won all games so far at the tournament, Nigeria are the standout team at the Africa Cup of Nations so far but they go head to head with a stubborn Tunisia side in the last 16 on Sunday, January 23.

The Super Eagles topped their group with three wins from three against Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau.

Tunisia, on the other hand, scraped through to the last 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.

But the head-to-head between both teams show any of them can emerge victorious on the night.

Out of 20 games, Nigeria have won six, Tunisia have won six times, and both nations have settled for a draw eight times.

Super Eagles interim coach Augustine Eguavoen has named the same starting XI in games against Egypt and Sudan for this clash against Tunisia.

Nigeria XI: Okoye; Aina, Troost-Ekong, Omeruo, Sanusi; Ndidi, Aribo; Chukwueze, Simon, Iheanacho; Awoniyi.

Tunisia XI: Said, Drager, Ifaa, Talbi, Haddadi, Ben Slimane, Skhiri, Laidouni, Msakni, Jaziri, Rafia
