Tunisia face a key test on Wednesday when they host Uganda in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The match comes at a critical time for the Carthage Eagles, who are under pressure to improve their form after a string of poor results.
The team's coach will be desperate to end a run of five consecutive defeats. During this period, Tunisia conceded eighteen goals while scoring only three. Their most recent result was a 1-3 home loss to the Netherlands back in June.
Current Standings and Absences

On the injury front, defender Mortadha Ben Ouanes will miss the squad due to a muscle injury. He is expected to return around October 10th, depriving the manager of an important midfield option.
