World Cup Betting: Denmark v Tunisia – Prediction, odds, predicted line-ups

Denmark and Tunisia kick off their 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign when they go head to head at the Education City Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.

The Danes maintained a nearly perfect record in the qualifiers for Qatar. They won their first nine games and only conceded three goals during the campaign to comfortably lead Group F with 27 points from 10 games.

Denmark will lean heavily upon star midfielder Christian Eriksen. But he’s not the only star for the Danes.

The Carthage Eagles, as the Tunisians are nicknamed, will be hoping to write history and go beyond the group stage for the first time in their history. They will be counting on the large Tunisian community in Qatar for support to better a dismal World Cup record of two wins and nine losses in 15 games
