Sweden (-115) vs. Tunisia (+340) | Draw (+240) | O/U 2.5 (+126/-162)
In the final match of the weekend, Sweden and Tunisia meet in Mexico in a Group F battle. Sweden heads into this match ranked No. 38 in the world, and Tunisia is No. 44. Expect a fairly even matchup.
This is a very important battle, as all eyes will be on the result of the Netherlands and Japan earlier in the day. Those two teams are considered the favorites in the group, so Sweden and Tunisia each have an uphill battle; there are three gigantic points up for grabs. These nations have met just once before on the pitch, with Tunisia posting a 1-0 win in a friendly on February 12th, 2003.
Sweden once finished second in the 1958 World Cup, while it last appeared in 2018. Tunisia has never advanced past the group stages, and it was bounced in 2022 in Qatar.
Sweden needed to win a World Cup playoff semi-final match against Ukraine on March 26th, and it did so by a 3-1 score. It bounced Poland in a World Cup Play-Off Final, too, easing by in a 3-2 win.
The Swedes are led by former West Ham manager Graham Potter, who mostly employs a 4-2-3-1 setup. Viktor Gyökeres of EPL’s Arsenal is front and center of the attack. Alexander Isak of Liverpool is also a player to keep a close eye on. The latter missed the World Cup Play-Off Tournament due to injury, but he appears ready for this tournament.
Tunisia played to a scoreless draw against co-host Canada in a friendly, and it topped Haiti 1-0 on March 28th in another tune-up friendly. Ellyes Skhiri of Eintracht Frankfurt and Hannibal Mejbri of Burnley are the two players of focus for the Eagles of Carthage, who are looking to build upon a best-ever four-point effort in Qatar.
Let’s go with the draw, and we’ll go low on the total, as we play it safe in the final match of the day.
Picks: Draw (+240) & Under 2.5 Goals (-162)
