Panama v Tunisia Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

There is little but pride at stake for these two sides in their final group game, but pride is something that both possess in abundance.

That trait was evident in Tunisia manager Nabil Maaloul's tears during the national anthem before their defeat to Belgium, and it was on display during the wild celebrations following Panama's goal against England with the side having already conceded six times.

The game may have little riding on it in terms of qualification, but both teams will be fully committed in their attempts to record a win.

Latest odds

Tunisia have only ever won one World Cup game and that was back in 1978, yet they are clear favourites offered at 17/20 (1.85) by bet365.

After heavy defeats to Belgium and England, Panama are priced at 7/2 (4.50) to claim their first ever victory at the tournament, with the draw available at 11/4 (3.75).

Team news

The Central Americans have been pretty physical in their approach meaning they have picked up plenty of yellow cards. Both Michael Murillo and Armando Cooper are suspended for Panama, while for Tunisia goalkeeper Mouez Hassan remains injured.

Preview

Panama's goal against England came from a set piece and while it was a well taken header from Felipe Baloy, the side have looked extremely poor in front of goal.

Tunisia for their part managed to frustrate the Three Lions for large parts of the game, while against Belgium they managed 16 shots and enjoyed fractionally more possession. Nearly half the Tunisia squad play in Europe meaning they should be fitter than their Panamanian counterparts not to mention technically superior.

Tips and predictions

The price of 17/20 (1.85) for the north Africans to triumph should be big enough for most potential backers, while there could also be some interest in the odds of 9/4 (3.25) for Tunisia to win without conceding. 

Prices correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
