Latest news and statistics from Tunisia
Tunisia prepares to face Japan in the second round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having secured 0 points from their first game. The team's recent form is a cause for concern, having lost their last five matches. Against Sweden in the FIFA World Cup, Tunisia conceded five goals and scored just one, a defeat that was followed by a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Belgium in a friendly international. Tunisia's struggles continued with a 1-0 loss to Austria and a goalless draw against Canada, before a narrow 1-0 victory over Haiti. This sequence of results raises questions about the team's ability to compete at the highest level. Tunisia's performance in these matches has been marred by defensive frailties, with their opponents consistently finding the back of the net with ease. The team's inability to score goals has also been a major issue, with Tunisia failing to find the net in four of their last five games. This lack of firepower will need to be addressed if Tunisia is to stand any chance of progressing in the tournament. As Tunisia looks to bounce back from their disappointing start, they will be hoping to draw on the experience of their players and the support of their fans to inspire a much-needed victory against Japan. However, with their recent form and defensive vulnerabilities, it remains to be seen whether Tunisia can mount a successful challenge in the second round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Latest news and statistics from Japan
