Ladbrokes brings you an in-depth match preview for Tunisia vs Netherlands in Group F at the 2026 World Cup, including odds, predictions, and bet builder tips.
Currently sitting top of Group F following their 5-1 thrashing of Sweden, Netherlands know even a draw is enough to secure their place in the round of 32 this summer, and coming up against a pointless Tunisia side, they seem destined for knockout football - but how do our experts expect the game to unfold?
Below, we've put together the ultimate Tunisia vs Netherlands bet builder, with potential starting lineups, our score prediction, and the latest live betting markets - so read on!

Fixture: Tunisia vs Netherlands
Competition: World Cup group stage (Group F)
Date: Friday, 26 June, 2026
Kick-off: 00:00 BST
Venue: Kansas City Stadium, Missouri, USA
Our predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Dahmen / Benn Hamida, Talbi, Rekik / Valery, Ben Slimane, Skhiri, Abdi / Gharbi, Mejbri / Tounekti
Our predicted XI (4-3-3): Verbruggen / Dumfries, van Hecke, van Dijk, Van de Ven / Gravenberch, de Jong, Koopmeiners / Summerville, Brobbey, Gakpo
To go along with our predicted scoreline of 4-0, the first pick of our Tunisia vs Netherlands bet builder is for Ronald Koeman's side to score over 3.5 goals, with the Group F favourites taking their goal tally to 11 in just three games.
Only Germany have scored more goals than the Netherlands in their opening two matches, and with Tunisia conceding more goals than any other nation at the 2026 World Cup so far, everything points to a potential hammering here. Tunisia already know they're heading home after this game, with their chances of progressing to the knockouts firmly squashed, so against an uninspired, bruised, leaky defence, we're expecting the Netherlands frontline to have a field day.
Netherlands to score at least four goals is the first pick of our World Cup bet builder, with the Oranje making light work of Tunisia.
With Netherlands expected to have the lion's share of possession we're predicting plenty of goalscoring opportunities to come their way - and with Cody Gakpo enjoying another fruitful World Cup campaign, we're tipping the Liverpool winger to have at least two shots on target.
The 27-year-old scored twice against Sweden last time out to take his career World Cup tally to five - putting him just two goals off Johnny Rep as Holland's all-time leading scorer in the competition - and with an average of more than 2.5 shots on target per 90 already this summer, Gakpo isn't showing many signs of slowing down. The winger will be licking his lips at the thought of lining up against such a disjointed back three in the Group F finale, and with an unlikely charge for the Golden Boot to maintain, he's destined to try his luck on multiple occasions here.
So we're backing 2+ shots on target for Cody Gakpo, as he looks to become the Netherlands' most prolific player in World Cup history.
As we turn our focus to Tunisia, it's the backline we've got our eyes on, with Herve Renard's side likely to have a lot of defending to do - so we're tipping former Premier League full-back Yan Valery to commit at least two fouls.
Now 27 years old, Valery is probably at the peak of his powers on that Tunisia right-hand side, but coming up against the aforementioned Gakpo, we're expecting the Sheffield Wednesday defender to have his work cut out. Valery is committing more than two fouls a game at the 2026 World Cup, with his front-footed approach not proving too effective, and with much of the Netherlands' play sure to come down his side, our experts are anticipating a couple of decisions to go against the defender.
So we're tipping Yan Valery to commit 2+ fouls in our World Cup bet builder, with the Group F underdogs having very little joy.
Finally, to round off our Tunisia vs Netherlands preview, we're backing the Dutch to take all three points at something of a canter, winning both halves against Tunisia to secure their spot in the round of 32 with ease.
Last week's thrashing of Sweden has set the tone for Ronald Koeman's side now, and they'll be desperate to build momentum ahead of the their round-of-32 tie - which looks likely to be against Morocco. Topping the group will be hugely important for the Netherlands, and having already played the two toughest opponents in Group F, this one should be relatively straightforward - especially with Tunisia's confidence being so low.
So Netherlands to win both halves is our fourth and final pick, with the Oranje finishing at the summit of Group F and looking ahead to the knockouts - with the plan to go deep into the tournament still very much on the cards.
