Being honored as the first team from Group D to qualify for the Last 16, France still has two matches left, with the next against Tunisia on Wednesday at Education City Stadium. In contrast, the African Nation has dropped to the bottom after losing its most recent match against Australia.
Tunisia may fancy their chances of defeating the in-from French team, but the reality is that they risk the real prospect of eliminating before the knockout stages. The team has yet to score a goal in the 2022 FIFA tournament after drawing 0-0 with Denmark in their initial game and losing 1-0 to Socorro.
Following the pre-tournament odds, France continued to conquer the Qatari land with their trot of two victories against Demark and Australia. Even though the team suffers from injuries of its senior players, their feet from gas never left off, consequently advancing to the knockouts.
With hopes that France might showcase low-par performance, the survival chances of Tunisia realistically depend on Australia versus Denmark clash. Perhaps, if Australia wins the match, the African Hawks will automatically eliminate from the tournament.
Tunisia possible starting lineup:
Dahmen; Bronn, Talbi, Meriah; Kechrida, Skhiri, Laidouni, Abdi; Msakni, Sliti; Khazri
France possible starting lineup:
Mandanda; Pavard, Konate, Varane, Camavinga; Guendouzi, Fofana; Coman, Griezmann, Mbappe; Thuram
