World Cup: Sweden vs Tunisia 14/06/2026

Betting on Both Teams to Score

This is a crucial match for two teams with realistic ambitions of reaching the knockout stage. With the Netherlands and Japan also in the group, this is not simply a game that neither side wants to lose—it is a match that both teams will be targeting to win.

Sweden reached the finals through the Nations League after a disappointing qualifying campaign. Since Graham Potter took charge, several aspects of the team’s play have improved, but the squad still lacks the overall quality of previous generations. Their recent friendly against Greece highlighted clear defensive weaknesses. Going forward, Sweden has enough attacking talent and creativity to generate chances and score, but defensively it may struggle to keep a clean sheet against quality opposition.

Tunisia, on the other hand, has traditionally relied on its defense and remarkably did not concede a single goal during qualifying. However, its recent friendlies raised concerns, particularly in attack despite the presence of talented and technically gifted forwards. Moreover, the team’s defensive reputation took a major hit in the recent 5-0 friendly defeat to Belgium, where its usual defensive discipline completely disappeared. Against Sweden’s vulnerable back line, this represents a good opportunity to find the net, although questions remain about whether Tunisia can remain solid defensively.

I also expect Sweden to score at least once given its attacking style, while Tunisia’s recent performances only strengthen that expectation.

With odds above even money, Both Teams to Score looks significantly overpriced considering the characteristics and playing styles of both teams.
