France will look to seal the top spot of their World Cup group when they take on Tunisia on Tuesday. With victories over Australia and Denmark, Les Bleus are comfortably leading the group. They know that if they win here and avoid losing, they will come in first. Things are significantly worse for Tunisia. The north Africans must win to remain in the competition and will finish second if Australia and Denmark play to a draw.
Tunisia team news
When a win is essential, Jalal Kadri may rely on Wahbi Khazri, a longtime Premier League favorite, to liven up the assault. Although Naim Sliti and Youssef Msakni are preferred in the forward positions behind striker Issam Jebali, the former Sunderland forward has yet to start a game in attack but may have the chance tonight.
France team news
Didier Deschamps, the manager of France, may use this chance to give certain players who have yet to playtime as qualification is already guaranteed. That might entail rests for players like Olivier Giroud and Raphael Varane, who have only recently returned from injuries. Kylian Mbappe, a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, has already scored three goals in this tournament, so it will be difficult to persuade him to take a break.
Tunisia vs France World Cup score prediction
Wednesday is the perfect day for a country to rise to the occasion. Tunisia has thus far shown remarkable tenacity in defense, but if they want to advance, they must attack with intent against France. If Australia and Denmark tie, a victory would advance them; however, obtaining all three points must come first. Even if Deschamps makes a number of adjustments, the endeavor simply seems to be too difficult.
When talents like Mbappe are primed and prepared for action, France will be able to play at their own pace and choose opportunities to strike their opponents on the counter. Although Tunisia might score to give the last 16 qualifications some hope, most of the indications point to a straightforward France triumph.
Prediction: France 3-1 Tunisia
