Tunisia v Australia World Cup Group D Betting Guide

Route to the World Cup

Tunisia

This will be the 6th World Cup finals that Tunisia has played in. The first time they qualified was in the Argentina World Cup of 1978 where they had their best tournament. In the group stage they won 1, drew 1 and lost 1 match but it was not enough to qualify for the next round. Between 1998 and 2006 Tunisia qualified for three successive World Cup finals but failed to make it past the group stage and did not win any of their games. At the last World Cup, they did win one game against Panama but lost the other two, again knocking them out of the competition at the group stage. To qualify for the 2022 World Cup finals, Tunisia won their CAF qualifying group and then a two-legged third round match against Mali.

Australia

This is the 5th time in succession that Australia has qualified for the World Cup finals and the 6th time in their overall history. Their best performance came in the 2006 World Cup held in Germany, where they reached the round of 16. In the group stage they got off to a flyer beating Japan, only to lose their second match against Brazil. A nail-biting 2 – 2 draw against Croatia ensured their passage to the second round. They were knocked out by eventual World Cup winners Italy in the round of 16 following a last-minute penalty scored by Francesco Totti. Can Australia repeat their heroics of the 2006 World Cup in Qatar and reach the knockout rounds?

Tunisia and Australia have met twice in competitive fixtures and honours are even with one win apiece. The last time the two teams met was in the German 2005 Confederations Cup that saw Tunisia run out as 2 – 0 winners.
