In a World Cup group that includes Denmark and defending champions France, both Tunisia and Australia are widely considered an afterthought.
However, anything can happen if one of the juggernauts in Group D happens to stumble, making this showdown between the Socceroos and Tunisia very important to both nations.

Tunisia vs Australia odds are current as of Tuesday, Oct. 18, from BetMGM Sportsbook unless otherwise noted.
The Socceroos are listed as a razor-thin favorite in their matchup vs Tunisia with a heavy lean toward Under 2.5 goals. A path to profit will be tricky with this showdown being a near coin flip.
A Double Chance wager may be a wise choice given that previous matches between these two nations have always resulted in a winner. However, the juice will run very high on such a wager.
Tunisia vs Australia Prediction
Tunisia 0-1 Australia
Look for Australian midfielder Jackson Irvine and the versatile Mathew Leckie to set the tone in this match by creating scoring chances for the Socceroos.
Manchester United’s Hannibal Mejbri, along with Anis Ben Slimane and Issam Jebali led Tunisia to solid victories over Chile and Japan in recent international friendlies, and should make things difficult for Australia for all 90 minutes.
However, the Socceroos come in on a bit of a hot streak having won each of their previous five matches, albeit against inferior competition. This is enough for me to give Australia the nod in this match, but a scoreless draw is not out of the question, to be honest.
Tunisia vs Australia Betting Tips
- Tunisia is 3-1-1 in their previous five outings.
- Tunisia has three clean sheets in their last five matches.
- Australia qualified after defeating Peru on penalties.
- The Socceroos have qualified for every World Cup since 2006.
