England vs Tunisia Preview

What can we say about England’s World Cup chances that haven’t already been said a thousand times before? With many once passionate English fans seemingly losing hope in what their national outfit have to offer, Gareth Southgate’s side have it all to prove this time around in Russia.

That said, an opening Group G victory against the Tunisians shouldn’t be too much to ask for. Whilst the North Africans have previously proven rather pragmatic from a defensive point of view, England possess enough fire-power to get the job done in convincing circumstances…well, in theory at least.

In search of a hero

For several consecutive tournaments now, England have been constantly looking for a brand new talisman to lift this team forward. Many have come and gone, including David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney, yet none have seemingly taken their chance and carried the Three Lions all the way to a World Cup final.

As Tottenham’s Harry Kane appears to be playing in the form of his life right about now, perhaps he could ultimately rise up and accept the challenge of taking England forward. In line with our latest England vs Tunisia betting tips at the World Cup, the keen-eyed 24-year-old must arguably go down as a potential anytime goal scorer among Group G this summer.

 

The next England shot-stopper?

With Joe Hart failing to restore faith in his once unrivalled services as England’s no. 1 this season, Gareth Southgate has subsequently been forced to find a brand new goal-keeper to insert between the sticks in each of England’s upcoming group-stage fixtures.

Although Everton’s Jordan Pickford has done himself plenty of favours down at Goodison Park in recent weeks, recently relegated Jack Butland of Stoke City arguably remains the most likely choice for Southgate to fall back upon. The current Potters favourite will most likely find himself on the move back to the Premier League as a result of his upcoming World Cup performances, even if the rest of his teammates fail to cover themselves in glory.

 

A tough nut to crack

Yet even with England’s perceived status as favourites in mind, many World Cup predictions expect this particular fixture to end in a hard-fought 1-1 draw. The Three Lions have failed to start strongly in several of their most recent tournament performances, with Tunisia’s relative defensive stability likely to cause problems in Russia this summer.

With Marseille’s Aymen Abdennour likely to be tasked with holding things down at the back for Nabil Maaloul’s side, England might just heavily underestimate what the Tunisians have to offer and subsequently lose out on all three points in their opening Group G fixture. Ultimate qualification from the group-stages nonetheless remains more than attainable for England, even without maximum points on the board.
