Group F action continues with Tunisia and Japan locking horns in a match that could have a huge impact on the race for the knockout stages. Tunisia have work to do after suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden in their World Cup opener. The Eagles of Carthage struggled defensively throughout the contest and were punished whenever Sweden attacked with pace. FC Copenhagen forward Elias Achouri is pushing for a place in the starting XI as Tunisia look for a response. The nominal hosts are conceding 1.7 goals per game on average and own an expected goals against figure of 1.46, suggesting defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern.
Japan, on the other hand, showed great character to rescue a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands thanks to a late equalizer. The Samurai Blue extended their impressive run of results and remain one of the most disciplined sides in the tournament. While Takefusa Kubo misses out after suffering a knee injury against the Dutch, Japan still possess plenty of quality in attack through players such as Ritsu Doan and Kaoru Sano. Hajime Moriyasu's men have won 60% of their last ten matches, kept six clean sheets in that span, and are conceding only 0.8 goals per game on average.
Japan are in much better form and given Tunisia's shaky defence, Away Win should be considered, alongside Japan to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (all three previous meetings between these nations finished below four goals, and Japan's matches are often tactically disciplined).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Sunday 21 June 2026 at 05:00.
