On Saturday, November 26, Tunisia and Australia will play in group D in the second round match. The fight will take place in the city of Al-Wakra at the stadium “El Janub”. The match will start at 12:00 Kyiv time.
Tunisia
In the opening match of the tournament, the Eagles of Carthage got one point, drawing against Denmark. Of course, this result can be added to the piggy bank, since few people expected such agility from the team of Jalel Kadri in a duel with the Danes. Now Tunisia is “in the game” until the end of the group stage: after the match with Australia, the team will neither fly out of the tournament nor guarantee itself a place in the playoffs. In any case, for Tunisia, everything will be decided in the game with France – in the third round. But, of course, the victory over Australia will allow us to have a good springboard for reaching the 1/8 finals.

As the match with Denmark showed, the team’s defensive play is at a good level. The team does not have star players who play in top teams, but due to well-coordinated teamwork, the Eagles of Carthage can achieve results. In attack, the main hope is for Montpellier forward Wahbi Khazri, who has 24 goals for the national team. At the last World Cup, he scored twice: against Belgium and Panama.
Tunisia has no personnel losses on the eve of the meeting with Australia. It can be assumed that Jalel Kadri will not look for good from good and will release from the starting minutes the same performers who got a draw with Denmark.
Australia
But Australia lost the opening match of the World Cup in all respects. But the opponent of the representatives of the “Green Continent” was one of the favorites of the tournament – the French team. The only thing that Australia could do was open the scoring in the match, which, however, did not help Graham Arnold’s wards avoid defeat. A loss to Tunisia will put an end to playoff dreams, where Australia has only been once in history, in 2006. If Australia can beat Tunisia, then in the final round it will become the master of its own fate in a duel with Denmark.
In a word, the Australians have nowhere to retreat: you can expect attacking football from them. It should be noted that Australia lost 11 out of 17 fights at the World Cup. And the team’s unbeaten streak at the world championships is already 7 fights. Are there prerequisites for interrupting it? More likely no than yes.
History of confrontations
Previously, the rivals met twice. True, it was a long time ago. In 1997, the Australians won a friendly match. Tunisia took revenge in 2005 at the Confederations Cup.
Prediction for the match
