Tunisia held onto a goalless draw against dark horses Denmark in the opening game of their World Cup campaign. Australia on the other hand were convincingly beaten 4-1 by France in their first fixture.
This is only the 2nd time Australia is facing African opposition in the World Cup. In general, their record in the tournament doesn't favour them, with the Socceroos losing 6 of their last 7 games and conceding 18 goals in the process.
While Tunisia are unbeaten in their last 2 World Cup games, they have only won once in their last five matchday 2 fixtures in the tournament. However, their dominant performance against Denmark would certainly provide them with the morale boost to overcome this unfavourable trend.
Tunisia vs Australia confirmed lineups
Tunisia (3-4-3): Dahmen; Bronn, Talbi, Meriah; Abdi, Laidouni, Skhiri, Drager; Sliti, Msakni, Jebali
Australia XI (4-2-3-1): Ryan; Behich, Rowles, Souttar, Karacic; Mooy, Irvine, McGree; Leckie, Duke, Goodwin.
