Tunisia seek a much-needed victory when they take on Australia in a Group D match of the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Saturday. The Tunisians, who are grouped with defending champion France, battled to a 0-0 draw against Denmark in their opener and likely will need a win prior to their meeting with the French for any chance at advancing to the knockout stage. The Australians are coming off a 4-1 loss to France in their first contest.
Kickoff is set for 5 a.m. ET at Al-Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar.

Before you lock in your Australia vs. Tunisia picks or World Cup 2022 predictions, you need to see what SportsLine's soccer simulation model has to say.
The SportsLine soccer simulation model evaluates a team's offensive and defensive capabilities based on the game situation. Then, it assigns a grade using an expected payout-to-probability ratio. The model was accurate on 56% of all picks during the Champions League group stage and returned more than $1,000 to $100 bettors on its A+ picks. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.
The model knows Tunisia has struggled offensively of late, scoring a total of two goals over their last three matches across all competitions. Inserting Wahbi Khazri, who did not see action against Denmark, into the lineup could help as the 31-year-old forward led the Tunisians with three goals during World Cup Qualifying. Khazri is second on Tunisia's all-time scoring list with 24 tallies in 71 international matches.
The model also has considered that Australia got off to a good start in their opener before France took control. The Australians put some fear in the defending champions as Craig Goodwin scored in the ninth minute for a 1-0 lead. Manager Graham Arnold may consider giving playing time to striker Jamie Maclaren, who was not on the pitch Tuesday despite leading Australia with seven goals in 10 matches during World Cup Qualifying.
Now, the model has taken an in-depth look at the Tunisia vs. Australia match from every angle. It is leaning Over on the total, and it says one side of the money line has ALL the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any 2022 World Cup picks.
