Tunisia head into their final World Cup group game against the Netherlands with only pride at stake, as they have already been knocked out after back-to-back heavy defeats (5-1 to Sweden, 4-0 to Japan). The Netherlands, who are unbeaten in 14 World Cup matches, need to better Japan's result to top Group F and are in high-scoring form. Expect a dominant Dutch win, with predictions favoring over 3.5 goals and a clean sheet for the Netherlands. Cody Gakpo is tipped to continue his scoring run.

Tunisia vs Netherlands World Cup Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Tunisia have nothing but pride to play for as they look to avoid another heavy defeat when they face the Netherlands at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday in World Cup Group F action.

Netherlands are in a strong position ahead of this clash, but they must better Japan's result in their corresponding game with Sweden in order to wrap up top spot in Group F, so they have every incentive to go forward and score as many goals as possible here.

Which spells bad news for an abysmal Tunisian side, who have already sacked their manager after one game in this tournament, becoming just the fourth team to lose two games in one World Cup by 4+ goal margins and the first since Greece in 1994. Herve Renard came in for Tunisia's second game, but he couldn't work any magic as they were thumped 4-0 following the 5-1 defeat to Sweden.

Netherlands meanwhile emerged from their 2-2 draw against Japan with a dominant 5-1 thumping of Sweden, with Cody Gakpo and Brian Bobbey both scoring braces.

With Tunisia in shambles and Netherlands scoring for fun, I'm backing Over 3.5 goals and a Dutch win to nil as the best bets for this one. Gakpo remains in prolific form and looks good to find the back of the net once more, while a correct score of 4-0 also appeals at big value.
  • Netherlands are unbeaten in their last 14 World Cup games
  • Tunisia have seen Over 3.5 goals in their last three games
  • Netherlands have seen Over 3.5 goals in their last two games
  • Tunisia have lost their last four games, conceding 15 goals in the process
  • Tunisia have just a 15 per cent win rate at World Cups (lost 12 games)
  • Cody Gakpo has scored five goals in his last seven World Cup games
  • Tunisia have conceded 4+ goals in their last three games

Tunisia vs Netherlands Head To Head

Netherlands are unbeaten in the three previous meetings and have never lost to an African side at a World Cup, winning four of five. Tunisia have won just one of their 13 World Cup meetings with European nations, losing eight.

Tunisia Form Analysis

It's been a nightmare World Cup for Tunisia and they have already been eliminated after two shambolic performances.

Tunisia suffered a 5-1 humiliation at the hands of Sweden in their opening game, which resulted in manager Sabri Lamouchi losing his job.

Herve Renard came in for the Japan game, but didn't fare any better, with Tunisia going down 4-0 and failing to register a single shot on target.

Another loss by 4+ goals would see them become the first team in World Cup history to suffer such defeats in a single competition.

Tunisia Team News

No injury concerns for Tunisia ahead of this clash.

Netherlands Form Analysis

It's crazy to think Netherlands haven't lost a World Cup game since the 2010 final against Spain, with penalties counted as draws.

That's 14 consecutive World Cup games without defeat for the Dutch, who come into this encounter top of Group F after a 2-2 draw with Japan and 5-1 thrashing of Sweden.

Brian Bobbey and Cody Gakpo both scored doubles against Sweden, while Crysencio Summerville added a fifth off the bench.

However, while they are in dominant form, The Oranje know they must better Japan's result against Sweden in order to confirm top spot in the group.

Netherlands Team News

Quinten Timber should be available again after missing the Sweden win with concussion.

Brobbey picked up a late knock, but his brace should be enough to keep him in the starting team if fit.
