Tunisia vs England | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
England get their World Cup campaign underway when they take on Tunisia in Volgograd, in what is a repeat of their opening match of the 1998 competition. Gareth Southgate would certainly like a similar outcome as the one on that day, however their African opponents are unlikely to make things easy for the Three Lions, meaning that it could be a tense 90 minutes at the Volgograd Arena.
Match Preview
Group G World Cup rivals Tunisia and England meet on the first Monday of the competition in Russia, with England looking to win their first match at a World Cup for the first time since 2006 in Germany. Southgate’s men are the undoubted favourites for victory with all major online bookmakers, however there are still plenty of attractive markets worth checking out before the match. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with Tunisia, who are the home nation in Volgograd.
Tunisia Form
Tunisia are actually ranked just one place below England in the FIFA world rankings, with Nabil Maâloul having led his side to an unbeaten run in their respective African qualifying group. Many of Tunisia’s players now play for European clubs, with Leicester City’s Yohan Benalouane and Al-Duhail’s Youssef Msakni among their biggest talents.
England Form
England qualified for the Finals in Russia thanks to an unbeaten record from their ten matches in Group F, with Southgate’s men looking to finally make their mark on a major competition in the modern era. Despite not having the superstar names as they have in the past, England have proven that they are now a difficult team to beat, as recent draws against both Germany and Brazil demonstrate. Spurs striker Harry Kane is certain to lead the line for the Three Lions, while the likes of Raheem Sterling and Del Alli could provide support in the final third.
Head to Head
The two nations have met just twice in the past, with their last meeting coming at the 1998 World Cup in France. Goals from Alan Shearer and Paul Scholes helped England to a 2-0 victory that day, however with 20 years having passed since then, few conclusions can be made surrounding their head-to-head record. The only other previous encounter between the duo ended in a 1-1 draw in 1990.
Tunisia vs England Prediction
England’s record during qualifying and the number of players playing for major Premier League clubs means that it comes as little surprise that it is Gareth Southgate’s men who are the favourites for victory with all online bookmakers. The Three Lions can be backed for victory at best odds of 1/3 with Ladbrokes, while a surprise success for minnows Tunisia is available at a price of 8/1 on the same platform. Elsewhere, a draw between the duo is available at odds of 4/1 with Paddy Power.
Tunisia vs England Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
However, our top betting tip for the match is to bet on under 2.5 goals being scored during the 90 minutes in Volgograd, a market which is available at a best price of 9/10 with William Hill.
