Last place in Group F already belongs to Tunisia but the Netherlands still have work to do to finish on top of the pile.
There will be no let-up from Ronald Koeman, whose team do need to make sure they pick up a second win of World Cup 2026.

Tunisia vs Netherlands: World Cup 2026 Preview
Tunisia are by some measures the worst team at the World Cup. They’ve conceded nine goals and scored one in back-to-back Group F losses that immediately evicted them from the competition.
That they achieved that low with two different managers too should be cause for reflection for the Tunisian Football Federation, who turned to Hervé Renard after giving Sabri Lamouchi the boot.
His concern here is that the chain of 5-1 results in the group leads directly from their 5-1 loss against Sweden to Sweden’s 5-1 loss against the Netherlands.
The Dutch have already demonstrated their inclination to fill their boots. Crysencio Summerville, Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo have all scored twice at this World Cup.
Tunisia have played the Netherlands three times without a win. The first meeting in the 1970s was a loss but friendly draws followed in 1994 and 2009.
A first victory appears unlikely. The Netherlands have their tails up and an objective to go after, so Koeman will undoubtedly have them fully focused.
