Sweden Predicted Lineup — 4-3-3
Robin Olsen (goalkeeper)
Defence: Emil Krafth, Victor Lindelof, Isak Hien, Erik Gustafsson
Midfield: Albert Gronbaek, Jens Cajuste, Anton Olsson
Attack: Dejan Kulusevski, Viktor Gyokeres, Emil Forsberg
Key note: Viktor Gyokeres is Sweden’s biggest weapon — his two goals in the pre-tournament win over Greece confirmed he is in the form of his career and is one of the most lethal finishers at the entire World Cup. Dejan Kulusevski adds creativity and directness from the right side, while Emil Forsberg’s experience and set-piece quality give Sweden multiple ways to create chances.
Tunisia Predicted Lineup — 4-2-3-1
Aymen Dahmen (goalkeeper)
Defence: Mohamed Drager, Yan Valery, Montassar Talbi, Ali Abdi
Midfield: Aissa Laidouni, Ellyes Skhiri
Attack: Hannibal Mejbri, Naim Sliti, Youssef Msakni
Striker: Seifeddine Jaziri
Key note: Wahbi Khazri’s creative influence and Youssef Msakni’s experience on the wing give Tunisia their attacking spark, but their identity at this tournament — as shown in their 1-0 pre-tournament win over Australia — is built on Montassar Talbi and Ellyes Skhiri’s defensive solidity. Tunisia will look to frustrate Sweden and strike on the counter.

The Story — Two Teams Who Need to Win
As covered in our Most Unfair Groups at World Cup 2026 analysis, Group F is the most competitive group in the entire tournament according to Opta Power Rankings — with the smallest quality gap between all four teams of any group. After Netherlands and Japan play out what could be a tight encounter earlier today, Sweden and Tunisia know that whoever wins tonight puts themselves in a strong position regardless of the earlier result.
Sweden — as covered in our Sweden World Cup 2026 Schedule — missed direct qualification and came through the playoff, but Viktor Gyokeres’s form means they arrive with more attacking firepower than almost any other team that qualified via the playoff route. Tunisia — as covered in our Tunisia World Cup 2026 Schedule — are appearing at their sixth World Cup but have never advanced beyond the group stage. Their 1-0 win over Australia in pre-tournament showed exactly the disciplined, professional approach their manager Jalel Kadri demands.
Three Things to Watch
Viktor Gyokeres’s finishing — If Sweden create even moderate chances, Gyokeres’s current form suggests he will convert them. His movement and composure in the box have been the standout quality of Sweden’s pre-tournament.
Tunisia’s defensive shape — Montassar Talbi and the Tunisia back line need to limit the space Gyokeres operates in. Their performance against Australia showed they have the discipline to do exactly that.
Wahbi Khazri’s creative spark — If Tunisia are to cause an upset, Khazri’s ability to unlock defences with a single pass or moment of quality will likely be the difference.
Prediction
Sweden 2-1 Tunisia
Gyokeres to score — his form makes it difficult to predict otherwise. Tunisia to make this competitive and find a goal of their own through their attacking players, but Sweden’s superior individual quality in the final third to be the difference in a close match.
