Of all the Qatar 2022 dates, it’s the third round of group games where bettors might just be able to pick up some value on the underdogs.
In FIFA World Cup 2022 Group D, France may have already qualified for the round of 16 by the time they take on Tunisia on November 30 – affording head coach Didier Deschamps the luxury of being able to rest and rotate key players.
As for the Tunisians, they will have no less motivation even if they have been knocked out of the tournament by this point – the potential of putting themselves in the shop window on the big stage will provide their players with plenty of reasons to play at their best.
As such, this Tunisia vs France clash could be far more entertaining and closely-fought than many might think – and it could provide some interesting opportunities for those placing their Qatar World Cup 2022 wagers with LV BET.

Progressive Tunisia Not to Be Underestimated
Although lacking in World Cup pedigree – in fact they have never gone beyond the group stage in five previous attempts – there’s a feeling that this could be the most talented Tunisian squad in quite some time.
Results are improving too. They reached the last eight of the ever-competitive Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, and while not exactly a headline-making tournament, Tunisia downed higher-ranked opposition in Chile and Japan to win the 2022 Kirin Cup.
Their head coach, Jalel Khadri, can call upon players that have earned their stripes in Europe’s big five leagues, including Wahbi Khazri and Ellyes Skhiri, while youngster Hannibal Mejbri is on the verge of breaking into the first team squad at Manchester United.
The former duo were particularly important in Tunisia’s run through the FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers, where they topped their group before defeating Mali in the play-offs:
Name | Position | Matches | Goals |
Wahbi Khazri | Forward | 6 | 3 |
Ellyes Skhiri | Midfielder | 5 | 2 |
Ali Maâloul | Defender | 8 | 1 |
While Tunisia vs France sees the reigning world champions installed as an understandably short favourite, don’t be too hasty to write off the underdogs here.
Formidable France to Dominate FIFA World Cup 2022 Group D
As Deschamps watched the draw for FIFA World Cup 2022 Group D unfold, he perhaps would have had a relaxed smile on his face.
Denmark are European Championship semi-finalists, Tunisia’s recent successes have been documented and Australia will be as tenacious as ever, but France will expect to achieve a minimum of seven points from their three games.
They may have to improve on recent form, however, which has seen them underwhelm at Euro 2020 and drop points against Denmark, Croatia and Austria in the UEFA Nations League.
But they have extraordinary pedigree on the big stage, and they achieved 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification with customary ease – thanks to the brilliance of their newly-acquainted front three:
Name | Position | Matches | Goals |
Antoine Griezmann | Forward | 8 | 6 |
Kylian Mbappe | Forward | 6 | 5 |
Karim Benzema | Striker | 5 | 3 |
Benzema’s return to the fold could be the missing piece of the jigsaw for Les Bleus, and they will surely be there or thereabouts when the Qatar World Cup 2022 concludes on December 18.
Betting Tips and Odds on Tunisia vs France in FIFA World Cup 2022 Group D
As we have alluded to already in this article, backing France blindly in this game may not be the best course of action for bettors.
They could have secured their passage through to the last 16 of Qatar 2022 already by this point, enabling Deschamps to rest players in the Middle East heat.
But Tunisia will give it their all, and they might just be the smart bet in the handicap markets – for which there are several different options at LV BET.
Of course, France’s fringe players – who will have a point to prove – may be just as dangerous given how strong this French squad is, and so Les Bleus may just prevail in a clash that has the potential for goals at both ends of the pitch.
