How it plays out

Tunisia meet Netherlands with our model leaning Netherlands's way (67% to win, 24% draw). Disciplined Carthage Eagles tough to break down. Netherlands, meanwhile, oranje blend pragmatism with talent under Koeman.

Tunisia's edge comes from defensive discipline, but Netherlands will look to exploit lack of goals. Expect a contest decided in the details, set pieces, transitions and the bench.
