Sweden Takes On Tunisia in High-Stakes World Cup Clash: Live Score and Match Stats

Sweden Takes On Tunisia in High-Stakes World Cup Clash: Live Score and Match Stats

Sweden's path to the 2026 World Cup was nothing short of extraordinary. The side failed to secure a single victory throughout standard qualifying, yet earned a second chance thanks to their performance in the UEFA Nations League. New head coach Graham Potter made the most of that opportunity, guiding Sweden successfully through the playoff rounds.

The improvement in results for the world's 38th-ranked nation has largely been driven by the goals of Viktor Gyökeres, though the team remains at one of its lowest points in recent memory. Sweden still need to shore up their defensive line, a vulnerability that Tunisia will be eager to take advantage of.

That said, Tunisia may simply be hoping to find the back of the net. The side has gone three consecutive matches without scoring, and their final warm-up fixture before the World Cup ended in a demoralizing 5–0 loss to Belgium. In that match, Tunisia conceded 27 shots overall and allowed 12 on target — a statistic Sweden's coaching staff will certainly have noted during their pre-match preparations.
