Sweden qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup via the play-offs and have been in decent nick recently. Tunisia won CAF Group H to qualify for the finals, but they have not been at their best lately. Sweden are predicted to win with BTTS.

Sweden have won 2 of their last 5 fixtures.
Sweden have scored 10 goals in 5 matches.
Sweden have conceded 9 goals in 5 games.
Tunisia have lost 3 of their last 5 fixtures.
Tunisia have scored 2 goals in 5 games.
Tunisia have conceded 7 goals in 5 matches.

Head to Head

Sweden have a slight edge with two victories to one against Tunisia in three meetings.

Sweden Form

Sweden played two international friendlies at the beginning of June in preparation for the World Cup finals, losing 3-1 to Norway before drawing 2-2 with Greece.

In March, Blågult faced Ukraine and Poland in two FIFA World Cup play-off matches. They defeated Ukraine 3-1 and edged Poland 3-2 to book their ticket to the finals.

The Blue and Yellow have won two of their last five fixtures, with one defeat and two draws. They scored 10 goals and conceded nine.

Sweden will aim to start their World Cup campaign with a victory against Tunisia, giving themselves a chance of reaching the round of 32, as they still have to face the Netherlands and Japan in their remaining Group F matches.

Tunisia Form

Tunisia did not fare well in their recent FIFA World Cup warm-up matches at the beginning of June, losing 1-0 to Austria before being thrashed 5-0 by Belgium.

Before that, Les Aigles had some success in back-to-back friendlies in March, beating Haiti 1-0 and drawing 0-0 with Canada.

The Eagles of Carthage have lost three of their last five matches, with one victory and one draw. They scored two goals and conceded seven.

Tunisia performed well during the World Cup qualifying campaign, but they have struggled to win their matches leading up to the global showpiece, although Sweden have been leaking goals at the back lately.
