When Denmark begins their FIFA World Cup 2022 match, Tunisia might find them an unpleasant challenge. On either hand, Tunisia will want to catch their rivals off guard.
The Tunisia team does not have the most successful history in the competition, with only two victories out of their 15 final games played. However, despite never making it past the group phase, they are in an excellent position heading into the event in Qatar, having dropped only one of their past nine games.

Denmark vs. Tunisia Overview
Both countries will be under pressure to defeat France, the former World Cup winner, when they play each other later in the group phase. Thus, this game is vital for both nations. Moreover, both want to win this game to progress to the next stage.
Australia ranked No. 38 overall, is the other foe in the group, and is expected to be a strong competitor. So, in addition to France, Tunisia or Denmark might also advance from Group D into the knockout phase depending on the result of this opening game.
Head to Head
Denmark once faced Tunisia, and they prevailed in that game in 2002. In that game, Denmark achieved two goals while giving up one.
Players to Watch
Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane or Hannibal Mejbri will be the coach’s choice for Tunisia. They are the ones to watch for, along with Ellyes Skhiri and Assa Ladouni. While Joakim Maehle does his best to defend the team, Denmark may want Yussuf Poulsen to score.
Prediction
Denmark’s defense has recently proven robust and might overcome Tunisia convincingly 2-0.
