France will conclude their World Cup group stage fixtures this week after qualifying for the knockouts with their win over Denmark. Didier Deschamps’ side also thrashed Australia in their opener and will look to make it three wins from three as they take on Tunisia at Education City Stadium.

Meanwhile, there is still all to play for for the Tunisians, who sit bottom of Group D with a single point. Their opening day draw with Denmark means they will have to beat France and hope that Australia draw with the Danes to have any chance of progressing past the group stage. With all three teams needing a win tomorrow, it seems unlikely that either of the two matches will finish level.

Team news

Tunisia should have a fully fit squad to face France tomorrow, with second-choice goalkeeper Bechir Ben Said back on the bench after missing out on Saturday’s defeat to Australia due to injury. Wajdi Kechrida or Ferjani Sassi could feature from the start after Mohamed Drager was brought off at half-time after a disappointing performance at the weekend. Tunisia’s second-highest goalscorer of all time Wahbi Khazri has barely featured in Qatar, however they could look to the former Sunderland star to cause an upset tomorrow.

Meanwhile, France will be without Alphonse Areola after the West Ham ‘keeper suffered a back injury. Didier Deschamps is likely to give a number of players a chance in the starting line-up, with talk of Eduardo Camavinga starting at left-back to give Lucas Hernandez a rest. While Mbappe has reportedly told the France boss that he wishes to remain in the line-up, the likes of William Saliba, Matteo Guendouzi and Kingsley Coman will all be considered for a start.
