Tunisia are the underdogs of Group F but no easy opponent. Beat France at the 2022 World Cup. Strongly organised defensively, but struggles to score themselves. Against the Netherlands, Japan and Sweden, advancing is tough; an upset against one top team is realistic.
Sweden have rebuilt after the Ibrahimović era. With Isak (Newcastle) and Gyökeres (Arsenal), they have two world-class strikers. Qualifying was scrappy, but in a tournament where physicality and aerial threat matter, Sweden can be dangerous. Round of 16 is the ceiling; surviving the group is the goal.
