Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
After impressing in the qualifiers, Denmark will look to kick off their World Cup campaign in great manner when they face Tunisia on Tuesday afternoon. The Danes have been producing excellent display under Kasper Hjumland, and, as a result, the reputable bookies see them as hot favourites to win the Group D opener. Christian Eriksen (Man Utd) and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Tottenham) are the most notable players in the home team, while Matt O’Riley (Celtic) Philip Billing (Bournemouth) have been left out of the Denmark World Cup squad.
The good news for the Danes is that Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen has overcome his injury. Meanwhile, experienced forward Wahbi Khazri made the cut, but a man to watch in the away side will be Koln midfielder Ellyes Shkiri. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Denmark look unstoppable at the moment. When the two teams met in a friendly back in 2002 the European side emerge triumphant (2-1).
