Tunisia vs France
With a victory over France, who has already advanced to Round of 16, Tunisia will have the opportunity to advance to the next round. France wants to advance to the knockout stage as the first team to have won all three games in the group stage, even though it will be a make-or-break game for the Eagles of Carthage.
Overview
Now that qualification has been assured, France manager Didier Deschamps may change his starting lineup in order to rest players in front of a probable heavyweight Round of 16 meeting with Argentina. Jalel Kadri, Deschamps’ Tunisian counterpart, is under a lot of pressure to cause a significant upset in this match because he has stated that he will retire if his team does not move to the knockout phase.
Teams
Tunisia
The fact that the 26th-ranked FIFA squad from North Africa has yet to score in this competition is their biggest issue. They were able to contain Denmark, who is ranked No. 10 by FIFA, and settle for a scoreless draw, but they fell to Australia in their most recent match. Even though Tunisia is now last in the group, a victory in this game will advance them to the next round. A lot will depend on the Australia vs. Denmark game because if Australia loses, it will be to Tunisia’s favor.
France
For their chances of competing in the next world cup, the defending champions will be counting on his squad to win three straight games. Despite France having a solid goal differential (+4) and Australia potentially winning Group D, the top slot is still theoretically up for grabs. France will enter the game with the intention of continuing their winning streak.
Head-to-Head
France and Tunisia haven’t faced off in combat in the previous 12 years. The most recent game between these two ended in a score of 1-1 during an international friendly that took place in May 2010. France and Tunisia have played three times, with France winning twice and Tunisia winning one.
Key Players
Attacking midfielder Wahbi Khazri, Youssef Msakni, and Naim Sliti will launch the attack for Tunisia because they have nothing left to lose. As usual for France, Kylian Mbappe will make an impression, but captain Hugo Lloris will be kept busy during this game.
Date, Time & Venue
On November 30 at 9:00 PM (Bangladesh time), the Tunisia vs. France game will take place at the Education City Stadium in Ar Rayyan.
Prediction
Expect an upset in this match. Tunisia will have enough penetration to score at least twice and win it 2-1.
