Tunisia Faces Mauritania in World Cup Qualifier on November 12

TUNIS, Tunisia — Tunisia will host Mauritania on November 12 for their first match of three scheduled this month. This international friendly comes after Tunisia secured the top spot in Group H during the CAF qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Eagles of Carthage are in excellent form, having won four consecutive matches. In their last outing, they significantly defeated Namibia 3-0 and previously dominated São Tomé and Príncipe in the qualifiers. Overall, they achieved nine wins and one draw in their ten matches, demonstrating strong performance.

Conversely, Mauritania has struggled recently, ending their campaign with only one win in ten matches in Group B. Their most recent defeat was a heavy 4-0 loss to Senegal. In addition, Mauritania has not scored in their last three games, raising concerns about their offense.

Historical performance shows Tunisia’s advantage in this matchup; they have won three of the last four encounters with Mauritania, scoring 12 goals and conceding just one during that stretch. Mauritania’s recent inability to secure points and score goals leaves them at a disadvantage as they prepare to meet Tunisia.

The match is expected to kick off at 10:45 AM local time. With Tunisia’s impressive recent form, they are favored to claim a comfortable home win. Predictions suggest a scoreline of 3-0 in favor of Tunisia.
