Very lucky to have come this far, Tunisia haven't lived up to expectations in this tournament but showed some resilience against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the round of 16.
They eliminated one of the strongest contenders in this tournament when Youseff Msakni powered in a long-range shot into the bottom right corner and was assisted by Mohamed Drager as the match ended in a 1-0 over Nigeria.
That was by far their best performance in this tournament and will build on that when they face Burkina Faso on Saturday.
Coming from a disappointing outing at the FIFA Arab Cup after losing out on extra time to Algeria in the final they will do everything to stay in this tournament and probably win it to make up for the loss.
