TUN vs FRA Match Details
Match: Tunisia vs France
Stage: Group (D)
Date: 30th November 2022 (Wednesday)
Time: 18:00 local time/AST (UTC+3); 20:30 IST
Venue: Education City Stadium, Al Rayyan
TUN vs FRA Group D Scenarios
It is the must-win game for Tunisia, who have only one point at present. However, a win can’t guarantee their spot in the knockout stages of this competition. To fulfil this dream, they also have to watch out Australia vs Denmark game, where Australia must have to avoid a win, or Denmark’s victory shouldn’t affect the CAF team’s earliest tie-breaking criteria.
While France are currently top in the group with 6 points, they can maintain this position at the end of this group stage even after a defeat against Tunisia. In that case, Australia’s win shouldn’t affect the defending champions’ earliest tie-breaking criteria. However, at least a draw in their last group stage game will comfortably put France on top of the final points table without depending on other games.
TUN vs FRA Match Preview
It will be the fifth official meeting, but the first World Cup meeting between Tunisia and France. While France won twice out of those, the other two had the draw results.
The defending champions France have already qualified for the Round of 16, but the tournament favourites want to continue their winning streaks. While they are going through a lot of fitness issues, they managed to finish with clean sheets in only two games out of 10 matches in 2022.
In their must-win game, Tunisia must have to bring out their one of the best performances in recent times.
