Sweden To Start Group Campaign With A Victory
Sweden have the stronger attack and greater individual quality across the pitch. Tunisia are well organised defensively, but Isak and Gyökeres can fire Sweden to an important opening World Cup victory

Sweden look the stronger side heading into this Group F encounter and should have enough attacking quality to claim all three points. With the dangerous strike partnership of Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres leading the line, Sweden possess far more firepower than a Tunisia side that traditionally relies on defensive organisation rather than goals.
Tunisia qualified impressively without conceding a goal and remain one of Africa's most disciplined teams, but questions remain about their ability to create chances against stronger opposition. Their lack of attacking threat could prove costly against a Swedish side packed with Premier League and European talent.
Sweden's recent performances have shown they can score goals against quality opponents, and with qualification rivals Netherlands and Japan still to come, this is a match they will view as a must-win
