The coach should work more on the central.midfield position and the right back. Tunisia can easily take advantage of these weaknesses. Losing Super possession and 50/50 balls in the midfield is suicidal against a top side.
Iwobi is a creative attacking player. The coach should deploy him to play the free role and get a combative and modern day box to box midfielder to stabilize and dovetail with Ndidi.
The Tunisian coach may likely try to use same pattern as Congo DR., relying on loose balls from midfield and winning 50/50 balls.
I’ll recommend Ndidi and Fisayo/Onyeka (CAM), Iwobi should be given free role to attack.
Akor and Lookman can attack from either sides, Osi from the central.
