Tunisia vs Japan Prediction 6/20/2026 Group F Picks

In this article we will formulate a Tunisia vs Japan prediction for this World Cup game on Saturday, June 20th at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, Mexico. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this World Cup matchup.

Tunisia Betting Preview

Tunisia comes into this match after they lost to Sweden by a score of 5-1 in their opening game. Tunisia cut the deficit to 2-1 in the 43rd minute, but they allowed three goals in the second half in the lopsided loss. Tunisia recorded six total shots, two shots on target, and had 51% of the possession in the game. Tunisia got their goal from Rekik, while Rekik and Achouri had one shot on target and Chamakh made one save in net. 

Tunisia comes into the World Cup ranked 45th in the latest official FIFA rankings and they lost to Belgium by a score of 5-0 prior to this tournament. In that loss, Tunisia trailed 1-0 at halftime and they allowed four goals in the second half in the ugly loss. Tunisia recorded seven total shots, one shot on target, and had just 34% of the possession. Tunisia has played three other friendlies this year: a 1-0 loss to Austria, a 0-0 draw with Canada, and a 1-0 win over Haiti. 

Japan Betting Preview

Japan comes into this game after they drew with Netherlands by a score of 2-2 in their last match. Japan tied the game at one in the 57th minute, but they needed another tying goal in the 89th minute to secure one point. Japan recorded 10 total shots, three shots on target, and had 40% of the possession. Japan got their goals from Kamada and Nakamura, while Nakamura had three total shots and Suzuki made four saves in goal. 

Japan comes into the World Cup ranked 18th in the latest official FIFA rankings and they defeated Iceland by a score of 1-0 prior to this tournament. In that win, Japan was tied 0-0 at halftime, but they scored in the 87th minute to get the victory. Japan recorded 15 total shots, seven shots on target, and had 55% of the possession. Japan has played two other friendlies this year: a 1-0 win over England and a 1-0 win over Scotland. 

Tunisia vs Japan Prediction

Tunisia comes into this match desperately searching for three points, but they have been outscored 11-1 in their last three games. Tunisia is a mess defensively right now and has to play a very disciplined Japan team here. Japan was fortunate to get a late goal against Netherlands for the draw, but they have not lost in their last five games. It will be interesting to see how Tunisia improves from that blowout loss, but I would be surprised to see them score in this one. Take Japan -1 here.
