Calvin Bassey is in confident mood going into Nigeria’s clash with the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia, reports Completesports.com.
Nigeria and Tunisia will clash in a Group C fixture at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.
The highly anticipated encounter is slated for the Complexe Sportif de Fès.
The Carthage Eagles defeated Eric Chelle’s side 1-0 the last time both countries met in a Round of 16 tie at the 2021 edition.
Hatem Trabelsi’s side impressed in the 3-1 win over the Cranes of Uganda on Tuesday.
Bassey however believed they have the quality to beat the North Africans.
“Tunisia are a good team and we should expect a difficult game, but we have enough quality to win it,” Bassey predicted.
The encounter will kick-off at 9pm Nigeria time.

Strong, fast, lanky, and skillful.
sBassey should be a top consideration for the next SE captain. He is a classy character and the most consistent player in the team.
