The outcomes of these two sides’ respective opening matches were predictable, but the performances were not. However, results count, and Belgium are universally favoured to send Tunisia packing in this Group G fixture.
Hours prior to Tunisia’s defeat to England, Belgium had been frustrated by a goalless first half against minnows Panama. However, superior quality shone through, and the Red Devils won 3-0. Though the opposition was relatively weak, the result represented Belgium’s fourth haul of 3+ goals in five games.
Tunisia then emerged from the England clash beaten, but leaving nobody under any illusions as to their defensive ability. After being outplayed for the entirety of the first half, the North Africans played defensively, and in the heat of Volgograd, it nearly worked, but for a late header by Harry Kane.
The Tunisians must win here, but history is against them, with no side representing the nation ever qualifying for the knockout stage of a World Cup tournament. Belgium, meanwhile, have done so in four of the last five since 1986. [Read more…] about Live streaming Belgium vs Tunisia world cup group G 23 june 2018
