FIFA World Cup 2026 Prediction: Sweden vs Tunisia (15-06-2026)

Sweden and Tunisia meet in their opening FIFA World Cup match in what could prove to be an important contest for both sides.

The FIFA rankings suggest there is little between the teams, with Sweden currently ranked 38th and Tunisia 45th.

While Sweden enter as favourites, Tunisia have enough quality to make this a competitive encounter and contribute offensively if the game opens up.

Recent results suggest there could be goals in this matchup.

Sweden have seen over 2.0 goals land in four of their last five matches.

Their recent games produced scorelines of 2-2 against Greece, 1-3 against Norway, 3-2 against Poland and 3-1 against Ukraine.

The Swedish side have been scoring consistently, but they have also struggled to keep clean sheets against decent opposition.

Tunisia have not scored much recently, but Sweden’s recent matches have been far more open, which is one of the main reasons the over line remains appealing here.

The previous meetings between these nations were played many years ago and offer little relevance to the current squads.

What matters more is the way Sweden have approached recent matches, often creating open contests with chances at both ends of the pitch.

Sweden may be capable of doing most of the work themselves here, which makes the over 2.0 line worth considering.

Two goals would return the stake, while a third goal would turn the selection into a winner.
