Tunisia coach Georges Leekens says Group B at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations has reached the point of no return heading into Thursday's penultimate round of games.
Tunisia are chasing their first last eight appearance since 2012 after making a group stage exit in 2013 in South Africa.
The 2004 champions play 2012 winners Zambia in Ebebiyin with both sides seeking the vital three points they need to make one step closer to the quarterfinals.
Tunisia opened their account with a 1-1 draw with Cape Verde on Sunday.
It was the same result for opponents Zambia who squandered a 1-0 lead to finish 1-1 with DR Congo in the earlier game on the same date.
“All the games are difficult but I think Zambia will be very difficult because we all dropped points and we’ll be looking for the same result," Leekens said.
"It will be difficult but we are ready, I don’t want to discuss my opponents but I know it will be tough.”
However, history favours Tunisia heading into the game and they enjoy a good record against Zambia at the Afcon.
Tunisia has two wins and as many draws against Zambia in the competition.
The two sides last meeting came at the 2010 tournament when Tunisia came from behind to snatch a 1-1 result against Zambia in Lubango.
