Group D has one last chapter to be written in which Tunisia take on France at the Education City stadium. Tunisia have a huge task ahead if they are to make it to the knockout stage; they need to beat France and hope the other result goes their way. France has already qualified for the knockout stage after their win against Denmark.
Shifting our focus to the FIFA rankings, Tunisia are in 30th place, whilst France are in fourth place. In the FIFA World Cup this will be the first meeting between the two countries but they met twice in international friendlies – 2010 and 2008, with a draw and a French 3-1 win, respectively.

TUNISIA
A great start against Denmark and the Tunisian dream of making it to the knockout stage looked like a realistic prospect, but a defeat to Australia was quite the setback. Tunisia are yet to score a goal in this tournament, and they are up against it as France are a tough nut to crack on their day. Tunisia had a couple of key moments in the game against Australia that could have been finished off better, but maybe the occasion got the better of them.
One great positive that they can take is that France might not be at full pelt as they already secured qualification – certain key French players might not be playing. It will be up to the Tunisian players and the coaching staff to motivate them and see what they can muster in the last game of the FIFA World Cup campaign.
A Tunisia win of 1-0 is priced at 16/1 (17.00), with Tunisia scoring first in the game at 8/3 (3.65).
FRANCE
France have done the hard bit, winning their opening two games and look at this third game as a way of continuation for the players ahead of the knockout stages. An impressive display against Denmark has earned the team great plaudits for having the personnel on hand despite various injury woes.
Kylian Mbappe is showing no signs of slowing down, scoring his first against Australia and two against Denmark. Should France have what it takes to make it back-to-back titles in the FIFA World Cup, Kylian Mpabbe will be the youngest player to win the World Cup twice already in his career. What an incredible story that would be.
With qualification secured, France will be looking to build momentum heading into the knockout stages and a 2-0 victory is priced at 11/2 (6.50) with the inevitable Kylian Mbappe to score anytime during the game at 5/4 (2.25)
