But the team ranked 68th in the FIFA ranking might only draw 1-1 once morest modest Gambia (123rd) on 29 May.
Their hopes rest largely on Ali Mabkhout, the top scorer in all World Cup qualifying stages with 14 goals, although he has only scored four in his last 11 games.
“I think the two teams are very even, considering our close matches in recent years and the fact that we have finished third in our respective groups” of the Qualifiers, Mabkhout estimated on the FIFA site.
