Tunisia's defense has stumbled, conceding nine goals in just two matches, while the Netherlands target a big win to cement the top spot in their group. Backing Oranje to cover the handicap appears likely, especially given their firepower and Tunisia's poor form. Brian Brobbey, already with two goals, is tipped to score again. The outlook is strongly in favor of the Netherlands dominating the tie and finishing at the group’s summit.

Tunisia have been a mess at the World Cup 2026, replacing head coach Sabri Lamouchi with Herve Renard after the initial loss then suffering another convincing defeat. I am backing Oranje to claim a convincing win here. 

Key Stats  


  • Tunisia have lost by 4 goals or more in their last 3 matches. 
  • Netherlands have won 2 of their last 3 matches. 
  • Netherlands’ Brian Brobbey has scored 2 goals against Sweden. 

Three Previous Meetings 


Two out of three head to head meetings between these sides ended level, while the Netherlands won one clash. 

Tunisia the Worst WC 2026 Performer so Far 


Tunisia’s performances and results have been disastrous so far at the World Cup 2026, losing the playoff hope after suffering two convincing defeats in opening two rounds. 

The Eagles of Carthage kicked things off with a 5-1 defeat against Sweden which prompted drastic changes as national coach Sabri Lamouchi was dismissed and Herve Renard appointed as his replacement. 

Things didn’t improve in Renard’s debut, Tunisia suffering another convincing loss to Japan 4-0. They didn’t have a single shot on target here, ending the match with 0.04-2.13 expected goals. 

Oranje Netted Seven Goals in Two Games


The Netherlands have already claimed a spot in the World Cup 2026 playoffs and now battle for placement in Group F, currently sharing 1st place with Japan. 

Oranje had the lead twice in the opening match against Japan, Virgil van Dijk breaking deadlock right after the break, while Crysencio Summerville scored a beauty to restore advantage. Ultimately, they had to settle for a 2-2 draw. 

Ronald Koeman’s side looked unstoppable offensively in the second round clash against Sweden, demolishing the Scandinavian side 5-1. Brian Brobbey needed 17 minutes to score a brace, Cody Gakpo also scoring two goals later. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Tunisia (4-3-3) Aymen Dahmen; Yan Valery, Montassar Talbi, Dylan Bronn, Ali Abdi; Ellyes Skhiri, Rani Khedira, Hannibal Mejbri; Elias Achouri, Hazem Mastouri, Elias Saad

Tunisia have no reported injuries or suspensions ahead of the final round but predicting their lineup is tricky since Herve Renard might give a chance to some youngsters and reserves.

Netherlands (4-3-3) Bart Verbruggen; Denzel Dumfries, Jan Paul van Hecke, Virgil van Dijk, Micky van de Ven; Ryan Gravenberch, Frenkie de Jong, Tijjani Reijnders; Crysencio Summerville, Brian Brobbey, Cody Gakpo

Donyell Malen hasn't shown much in the offense, so I expect Crysencio Summerville instead in the starting lineup. West Ham's winger netted in both matches so far. Frenkie de Jong is having minor fitness problems but is expected to start.

Verdict

All signs are pointing to a one-sided match here, with Tunisia conceding nine goals across their opening two defeats, while the Netherlands will aim for a convincing win to secure first place. I am backing Oranje to win on the handicap and Brian Brobbey to add to his two-goal tally.
