The Tunisia national football team is looking to win against Japan in their upcoming match at the 2026 World Cup, after a humiliating 1-5 loss to Sweden in their opening match. The frustration reached its peak, with the national football federation sacking Sabri Lamouchi and appointing French coach Herve Renard in his place. It's worth mentioning that coach Renard is the one who led Saudi Arabia to a shock in Qatar 2022, by beating Argentina 2-1 in the opening match. Coach Renard faces an interesting challenge as Tunisia faces an unpredictable obstacle: Japan - a team that, despite being behind the Netherlands twice, managed to get a point. In addition to their ability to seize opportunities effectively, Japan also embodies a fighting spirit and admirable courage. After captain Van Dijk gave the Netherlands the lead in the 51st minute, Kito Nakamura scored the equalizer for Japan in his first World Cup appearance, just six minutes later. And in the 64th minute, Somerville gave the Netherlands the lead, but Daichi Kamada took advantage of the team's efforts to score a valuable point in the 89th minute. Japan currently occupies second place in the group, tied in points with the Netherlands, and two points behind leaders Sweden. Takiefusa Kubo will miss Japan's match against Tunisia due to a left knee injury he suffered during the 2-2 draw with the Netherlands. Coach Moriyasu Yukinari may play Sugawara in the right-back position, while Ritsu Doan will form a three-pronged attack alongside Daizen Maeda and Ayase Ueda. The Tunisia national football team changed coaches, but predictions indicate that no experts expect them to win. On the other hand, everyone expects Japan to win. ESPN experts predict Japan will win 1-0 against Tunisia, while Sportskeeda predicts Tunisia will win 2-1 against Japan. Sportsmole and Khel Now experts predict the same score: Tunisia 1-3 Japan. There is a notable detail here: Japan has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 World Cup matches. The expected lineup is: Tunisia: Al-Shammakh; Valery, Rakik, Talbi, Ali Abdi; Al-Skhiri, Al-Khazri; Aououri, Hannibal, Al-Gharbi; Al-Shawat. Japan: Suzuki; Taniguchi, Watanabe, Itch Ito; Sugawara, Kamada, Sano, Nakamura; Rowan, Maeda; Ueda.
