Beijing, 26 November, 18:00, World Cup Group D Group Stage Round 2, Tunisia vs Australia.
Tunisia scored one point against Denmark in the first round, making the situation in this group suddenly uncertain. Originally, Denmark was thought to have a high probability of qualifying with France. After getting one point in the first round, Tunisia saw hope of qualifying and was bound to win this game.
Australia has basically accepted the possibility of being out of the group after losing to France in the first round. Australian coach Arnold also said that players should not think about how they might qualify, but focus on playing well and have a relatively small psychological burden.
In Asia, Australia is not a team that can play a flashy attack. As previously analyzed, Hrustic in the Australian front position, Verona, the last place in Serie A, also performed very flatly, and the technique did not dominate. Recycling the defense may open up space for counter-attacks and give the wingers a chance to rush.
Tunisia is used to a 5-3-2 formation, in this formation, the three midfielders are players who are good at defense and interception, and there are no players with good speed and skill on the front line, this team is more suitable for stable defense, seize opportunities in chaos, and take the initiative to attack is not their strong point. Once the initiative is pressed out, it may be counterattacked by Australia.
Australia's two wingers, Mabil and Leckie, are both good in speed, but their skills are not enough in the international arena. And the center candidates, whether Duke or McLaren, are not high school forward types, but are more suitable for counter-attacking opportunities. Australia's two defenders, Mooy and Erwin, are both block-oriented and powerful running players. And Hrustic is not useless, in Verona, although his attacking organization is very crotch-pulling, but he has been suppressed to participate in the defense for many years, and his running and defensive presence rate are also good.
Tunisia, by contrast, lacks players who can drive the pace in counter-attacking and attacking and defensive transitions, and several optional strikers are not as fast as they are, and they are all older. If the two teams appear in a fierce "hand-to-hand fight" in midfield, far from the penalty area of both sides, it should be the Australian team that creates more of a threat.
At the data level, weak support for Tunisia is also becoming increasingly volatile.
Tunisia's past record is more impressive, such as friendly victories over Iran, Kirin Cup victories over Chile and Japan. But Tunisia, ranked 30th, and Australia, ranked 38th, are on the same level of strength overall.
Australia are unbeaten.
