Though far from convincing, Ghana comfortably won group D and the Black Stars go into this quarter final as favourites, given that no African side has beaten them in a competitive match since Egypt broke their hearts in the 2010 final.

With two unsuccessful final attempts since winning the title in 1982 when Ghana last won the title, the push for a second successive final appearance on February 12 is two games away.

The West Africans must defeat the Carthage Eagles to be able to reach the last four and keep their hopes of reaching the final alive.

Tunisia on the other hand took second position in Group C where they started by losing the 1-0 to co-hosts Gabon before defeating Niger and Morocco.
The north Africans will face their test in the competition so far when they take on the Black Stars at the Stade de Franceville on Sunday at 8:00pm local time (19:00 GMT).

Quality might define the outcome of this crucial meeting with Tunisia coach, Sami Trabelsi also speaking about their class and determination to go past Ghana even though he will be missing veteran midfielder Adel Chedli, who left the tournament over lack of playing time.

“I think Tunisia has the quality to beat any opponent. We don’t think about the name of the teams,” Trabelsi said.

The winner advances to the semi-final to meet Zambia on Wednesday.
