Sweden
Sweden have won two, drawn two and lost one in their last five matches.
Tunisia
Tunisia have won one, drawn one and lost three in their last five and are suffering from a two-match losing streak .
Sweden
- Potter, the former Chelsea boss, has brought structure, possession-based play, a flexible shape and controlled possession to the Swedish national team since taking over in October 2025.
- He is helped by some excellent individual talents, with Emil Forsberg providing the creative spark and set-piece quality and Alexander Isak giving the front line pace, technical quality and an ability to create and finish his own chances, particularly against teams that sit deep and are compact.
Tunisia
- Tunisia have struggled since Lamouchi took charge in January 2026.
- Hannibal Mejbri brings energy and ball-winning ability to a midfield that can break up the Swedish build-up, Youssef Msakni is a great provider especially in transition, and Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane offers box-to-box running and set-piece threat.
Betting Insights
- This could be a low-scoring game with lots of tactical tension, but the odds on Under 2.5 goals seem too low for our betting preference.
- Both teams to score looks a safer bet at around even money and still offers a positive return in what will be a close game.
- Sweden are a more solid unit and, although they have conceded eight goals in their last five home games, this game is in Monterrey, so the record is more relevant - Tunisia have shipped 15 goals in their last eight away games, an average of 1.88 per game, including a 5-0 loss to Belgium last time out.
- A Sweden win is favored here at 1.85, but Tunisia will make it tough and are a threat on the counter-attack.
- Viktor Gyoekeres is in superb goal-scoring form with five goals in five games for Sweden and can provide the clinical finish Sweden need to edge a close game.
Prediction
A tight, tactical contest with Sweden tipped to eke out a win while Tunisia remain dangerous on transitions.
