Tunisia Team News & Stats
Switching the head coach after a 5-1 loss to Sweden didn’t help the Tunisians, who lost to Japan 0-4. Once again, the North African team looked pale and lost, and to be honest, this defeat could have been even worse.
This is the 4th straight loss for Tunis, which allowed 14 goals in the previous three contests. And that shows how bad they are at the moment.
Likely Lineup: Dahmen; Ben Hamida, Talbi, Rekik; Valery, Slimane, Shkiri, Abdi; Saad, Mejbri; Chaouat
Netherlands Team News & Stats
We will say it right away, Oranje was better than Sweden, but it didn’t deserve to win 5-1. Goalkeeper Verbruggen was fantastic, as he stopped several excellent chances Blagult created.
After a 2-2 tie against Japan, this is a huge morale-booster for the Netherlands, which now faces Tunisia, arguably the weakest defense in the World Cup. Given that they need to stat-pad their goal difference, Koeman’s guys are in a good situation.
Likely Lineup: Verbruggen; van de Ven, Van Dijk, van Hecke, Geertruida; Reijnders, de Jong; Gravenberch; Malen, Gakpo; Brobbey
Head to Head
Both friendlies these teams had ended without a winner, one in 1994, 2-2, and the other in 2009, 1-1.
