Sweden vs Tunisia: Match Preview

Sweden coach Graham Potter will look to show his fluid, modern tactical approach can succeed on the world’s biggest stage, with a clinical frontline led by Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres. Sweden qualified in dramatic fashion, with Gyökeres scoring a 88th-minute winner against Poland after a hat-trick against Ukraine the week before, all under new coach Graham Potter. Goal.comRotoWire

Standing in their way is a disciplined and resilient Tunisia side led by Sabri Lamouchi, whose pragmatic structural identity makes the Eagles of Carthage incredibly difficult to break down through tireless work ethic. For Tunisia, this June 14 opener represents their best chance to grab points before facing the Netherlands and Japan. Goal.comRotoWire

The form lines tell an interesting story too — Sweden have scored at least twice in three of their last four games but have gone 11 matches without a clean sheet, conceding 23 goals during that stretch, while Tunisia have conceded in seven of their last nine games. FreeSuperTips
