Tunisia

Manager Sabri Lamouchi only took the job in January, but inherits a squad with a strong defensive identity that went the entire World Cup qualification cycle without conceding a single goal in ten games. Though the usual back four were held out of the March friendlies for various reasons, it's safe to assume Lamouchi won't deviate too much from what has worked thus far. We'll likely see the fullback pair of Yan Valery and Ali Abdi return alongside the central pairing of Dylan Bronn and Montassar Talbi, though Bronn is rehabbing a knee injury, so Omar Rekik has the spot for now.

Without the ball, Tunisia defend in a deep 4-5-1 or 5-4-1 shape anchored by Ellyes Skhiri, but things are much murkier in possession. In formations with two midfielders, Skhiri will be paired with Rani Khedira or Anis Ben Slimane if a box-to-box skillset is needed, but not much else is certain. Tunisia's issue under Sami Trabelsi was scoring, and this has persisted under Lamouchi, with a single goal (vs. Haiti) in his four matches in charge. That's not to say there isn't attacking talent in the side; Hannibal Mejbri is a genuine asset in that regard. Players like Ismaël Gharbi, Elias Achouri and Sebastian Tounekti can be as well, but Tunisia have yet to figure out the right combination of players or tactical configuration to put the ball in the net without heavy reliance on set pieces (which they are good at, to their credit).
