Tunisia vs Croatia Prediction
Tunisia are on a three-game winless run and have one win in five games across competitions. They haven't scored in three of their last five games but have kept five clean sheets in seven outings.
They had to make a few changes to the squad ,as Yassin Mariah, Hossam Taqa, and Amanallah were allowed to rejoin their clubs for CAF Champions League commitments. Bassam Al-Sarafi and Elias Saad have left the squad due to injuries, while Ellyes Skhiri is doubtful after picking up a knock in the Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund.
Croatia, meanwhile, concluded 2023 with two wins without conceding. Zlatko Dalic made some changes to the squad after Josip Sutalo and Martin Baturina were injured last week. Ivan Perisic is unavailable due to injury, while Ante Budimir misses out due to a fever.
Tunisia have one win in five games in 2024 and have a few absentees. Considering Croatia's better quality, they should eke out a narrow win.
