Here is how bookies rate South Africa's and Tunisia's chances to win on 24 January when they play their last game of the AFCON group stage (betting odds powered by Yesplay):
South Africa – 3.68
Draw – 2.98
Tunisia – 2.16
South Africa
The 0-2 defeat against Mali was like a cold shower for South Africa: against Namibia, they were literally blood-thirsty. The result was the 4-0 thrashing of their opponents.
Four goals and a clean sheet are nice but most importantly, South Africa have restored confidence before the decisive game. It's quite unlikely that they will settle for anything but a win tomorrow.
Tunisia
Tunisia have been disappointing their fans so far: first, they lost to Namibia and then they failed to beat Mali (in fact Mali were closer to winning that game).
Before the start of the AFCON, Tunisia were rated as the favourites in their group. Now they are rock-bottom with just one point in the bag. However, three more points would probably help them to get to the knockout stages. All it takes is beating South Africa, and it's not as easy as it may seem.
