History may well be in the favour of the Black Stars of Ghana as they face the Carthage Eagles in the last game of the round of 16.
Ghana have qualified to the knockout stages of the competition for the seventh time in a row. They beat Guinea Bissau in the last game of the group stages to secure top spot in Group F.
The West Africans have never lost a game against Tunisia as they have won six times and drawn just once against the North Africans.
GHANA:
The four-time champions secured their first win of the tournament courtesy goals from Jordan Ayew and Thomas Partey against Guinea Bissau.
The Black Stars have been handed a massive boost as Kasim Nuhu returns from suspension. Thomas Agyepong and Jonathan Mensah too have been declared as fit for the game against the Tunisians.
The Ghanaians have scored four goals and conceded two so far – against Benin, who are in the quarterfinals of the tournament after beating Morocco on penalties.

Richard Ofori, Baba Rahman, Kasim Nuhu, John Boye, Andy Yiadom, Mubarak Wakaso, Afriyie Acquah, Samuel Owusu, Thomas Partey, Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew.
