Tunisia manager Nabil Maaloul has said that his team will be under added pressure when they face Belgium in their upcoming World Cup qualifier because the hopes of the entire Arab world are upon them.

The former Kuwait head coach believes that his side will have support from a number of other nations when they take on Roberto Martinez's Red Devils.

"There's no doubt the eyes of the Arab world are turned towards Tunisia and their hopes are pinned on our team," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying.

"Obviously we feel more pressure, we feel a sense of responsibility - we can't lose tomorrow, we can't disappoint tomorrow."

Tunisia are currently third in Group G after losing their opening match 2-1 to England.
