Tunisia vs Netherlands Prediction, Odds and Best Bets | World Cup 2026

The Netherlands head into their final Group F match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with top spot firmly in their sights, while Tunisia are playing only for pride after a disappointing campaign that has already ended their hopes of reaching the Round of 32.

Set for (01:00 SAST) kick-off on Friday, 26 June, this clash in Kansas City looks heavily weighted in favour of Ronald Koeman’s side. The Dutch produced one of the performances of the tournament so far when they hammered Sweden 5-1, while Tunisia have conceded nine goals in just two matches and sit bottom of the group.

Tunisia’s tournament has been one to forget. Heavy defeats to Sweden and Japan resulted in a coaching change, with Herve Renard brought in to steady the ship. Despite the experienced coach’s arrival, the Eagles of Carthage have struggled defensively and have managed just one goal in the competition.

Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri remains one of Tunisia’s brightest attacking threats, while captain Ellyes Skhiri will once again be tasked with controlling the midfield. Tunisia are expected to have a fully fit squad available.

The Netherlands, meanwhile, are flying after dismantling Sweden 5-1. Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo were among the goals, although Brobbey and Memphis Depay have both been managing minor fitness concerns. Virgil van Dijk and Frenkie de Jong are expected to be available despite recent injury scares, while Quinten Timber could return after concussion protocols.

Netherlands to Win & Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.52
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Dutch have scored seven goals in two matches and face a Tunisian side that has conceded nine. With top spot still not guaranteed, Koeman’s men should remain fully focused and possess far too much quality in attack.
