Nigeria hope to secure their place in the AFCON knockout stages as they take on fellow Group C favorites Tunisia on Saturday in Fez, Morocco.

The Super Eagles secured three points in their opening match by surviving a scare against Tanzania thanks to Ademola Lookman's winning goal in the 52nd minute. The Atalanta star struck just two minutes after Tanzania had cancelled out Semi Ajayi's first-half opener.

Tunisia also won their first match by taking down Uganda in their tournament opener, a comprehensive victory.
