Tunisia became the first African team to win a match at the World Cup when they beat Mexico 3-1 in their competition debut in 1978.

They are however still waiting for their second victory, with two fruitless appearances since.

The 2004 African Nations Cup winners have been in good form of late though and stand a decent chance of qualifying if they can beat the Ukraine and Saudi Arabia.

Their captain and highest profile player is Ajax's Hatem Trabelsi, who is a rock solid right-back.

Riadh Bouazizi is a veteran ball winner in midfield and will make them hard to break down.

They also have a young striker called Haykel Guemamdia who is highly rated and has recently moved to Strasbourg. He is definately one to watch.

Reaching the second round is the goal for Tunisia and anything further than that would be a huge achievement.
