Match summary: Tunisia vs Netherlands

At 6 am on June 26th, the Netherlands had a great opportunity to qualify for the knockout round of the 2026 World Cup.

Tunisia's journey in this World Cup ended with a heavy 0-4 defeat against Japan . Coach Herve Renard's team failed to register a single shot on target, thus becoming only the fourth team in World Cup history to suffer two defeats by a margin of four or more goals in the same tournament, since Greece in 1994.

The challenge for Tunisia is even greater given their alarming form. The "Eagles of Carthage" have lost all four of their last matches and only won one of their last nine. With a modest World Cup record of only three wins in 20 games, Tunisia can hardly be considered a strong contender against a resurgent Netherlands .

Conversely, the Netherlands are showing themselves to be a formidable contender. Their 5-1 victory over Sweden has virtually secured their place in the knockout round, while also extending their unbeaten World Cup streak to 14 matches – a feat no other team has ever achieved except for penalty shootouts.

Coach Ronald Koeman's team is also demonstrating an extremely effective ability to capitalize on opportunities. The Netherlands have scored seven goals from 20 shots in the tournament, achieving a conversion rate of 35%, their best figure at a World Cup since 1966.

However, the defense remains a concern for the Netherlands, as they have conceded goals in all six of their most recent matches. This could be a weakness that Tunisia hopes to exploit if they want to spring a surprise.
