Tunisia's World Cup 2026 group: how hard is it?
Drawn into Group F, Tunisia share their section with Sweden, Netherlands, Japan. None of the rivals have lifted the trophy before, so on paper this is one of the more open groups — qualification is there for the taking. With four confederations potentially represented, styles clash here, and the new 48-team format means the top two go through automatically while the third-placed side still has a realistic route into the Round of 32.
Tunisia's opening fixtures and what to watch
Tunisia open against Sweden (away), then meet Japan before closing the group against Netherlands. Group-stage points are usually decided in the first two matchdays, so that opener carries real weight. Our prediction model reads each of these games through recent form, opponent strength and a Dixon-Coles Poisson grid — see the projected scorelines and win probabilities on our World Cup 2026 predictions page.
