Tunisia vs Netherlands Match Preview

Tunisia face the Netherlands in the Group F finale at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Thursday June 25, with both Group F matches kicking off simultaneously at 7pm ET.

The Netherlands sit top of the group on four points and need a result to confirm their place in the Round of 32. Tunisia are already eliminated after two heavy defeats, having conceded nine goals and scored just one across their two matches.

The Netherlands Have the Firepower to Win This Early and Win It Big

Ronald Koeman’s side have shown two very different faces in this tournament. The 2-2 draw with Japan on Matchday 1 was a frustrating evening in which they led twice and were pegged back on both occasions, with Kamada’s 88th-minute header denying them a winning start.

The response on Matchday 2 was emphatic. Brian Brobbey scored twice inside 17 minutes against Sweden, Cody Gakpo added a brace of his own in the first ten minutes of the second half and Crysencio Summerville wrapped up a 5-1 win that underlined just how much attacking quality this squad possesses.

Gakpo now equals Robin van Persie as the Netherlands’ highest group-stage scorer at a World Cup with five goals to his name across both tournaments.

Against a Tunisia side that conceded four to Japan on Matchday 2 and five to Sweden on Matchday 1, the Netherlands have the firepower to impose themselves from the first whistle and build a lead that makes the second half comfortable.

The motivation to finish top of Group F is an added incentive to attack from the start.

Tunisia Have No Answer and No Reason to Believe

The story of Tunisia’s tournament is one of the most sobering in the group stage. A defensive record that produced nine clean sheets in ten qualifying matches was supposed to be the foundation for a competitive group campaign.

Instead, they have conceded nine goals in two matches and scored once, their coach was sacked after the first game in what was the first managerial change after one matchday in World Cup history, and Herve Renard’s appointment could not prevent a 4-0 hammering by Japan that left the squad with nothing to play for.

Captain Ellyes Skhiri issued a public apology to Tunisian fans after the Japan defeat. The xG data tells the complete story of their impotence in attack — they generated just 0.05 across 90 minutes against Japan, meaning they barely created a single chance of note across the entire game.

Against a Netherlands side that scored five against Sweden and will be hungry to finish the group stage in style, Tunisia have no defensive foundation left and no attacking threat to keep Koeman’s side honest.

Tunisia vs Netherlands Predictions

Netherlands to win the first half with -1.5 Asian Handicap at 2.93 is the best recommended bet for this match. The Netherlands scored twice inside five and 17 minutes against Sweden and have shown they can impose themselves immediately against opposition that sits deep.

Over 3.5 goals at 2.20 is the value tip since Tunisia have conceded nine goals across two matches and generated next to nothing going forward. The Netherlands scored five against Sweden, who are a substantially better side than this Tunisian outfit, and will have Gakpo, Brobbey, Summerville and Dumfries all looking to add to their tournament tallies. Four or more goals in this fixture reflects the scale of the mismatch and the Netherlands’ attacking intent in a match that could influence their group position depending on the Japan and Sweden result.

Netherlands 4-0 at 9.00 is the correct score pick. Tunisia managed just two shots against Japan and 0.05 xG — they are not a team capable of scoring against a settled Netherlands defensive line.
