Tunisia Vs Netherlands Preview
Having been humbled 5-1 by Sweden and 4-0 by Japan in their two previous games, Tunisia have nothing but pride to play for. The Eagles of Carthage are on course to be the worst team in the 2026 group stages and they need to really up the ante against a strong Netherlands side.
The Dutch destruction of the Swedes last time out means that qualification is all but assured and top spot is theres for the taking. And the Tunisia vs Netherlands odds strongly imply the Oranje will cruise to victory in Kansas.
Runners-up in 1974, 1978 and 2010, Ronald Koeman’s side certainly aren’t considered as a World Cup dark horse. However, the 5-1 win over Sweden and opening day draw against a strong Japan side indicate another fruitful and deep run is very much on the cards.
Tunisia Vs Netherlands H2H Record
As far as the Tunisia vs Netherlands H2H record goes, the European heavyweights are undefeated in their three previous encounters. The Dutch won the very first meeting 4-0 back in 1978. In 1994, the nations played out a 2-2 draw before another stalemate in 2009. All three fixtures were international friendlies.
Tunisia vs Netherlands H2H record:
- Tunisia 1-1 Netherlands (2009, friendly)
- Tunisia 2-2 Netherlands (1994, friendly)
- Tunisia 0-4 Netherlands (1978, friendly)
Tunisia Vs Netherlands Team News
Head coach Herve Renard – who replaced Sabri Lamouchi after MD1 – has no new injury concerns to navigate. It’s likely that the former Saudi Arabia boss will adopt a back four as opposed to a back five. Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbr will be tasked with providing the creative spark in midfield.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands are set to unleash Sunderland star Brian Brobbey in attack once again after his two-goal Sweden haul. Quinten Timber is pushing for a return having missed the 5-1 drubbing of the Swedes with concussion.
