Belgium vs Tunisia Prediction
🔊 Will Belgium’s unbeaten run continue as the World Cup approaches? The Red Devils have not lost in a year and a half, and on Saturday-before heading to another continent-they host Tunisia at King Baudouin Stadium. Both teams have qualified for the upcoming 2026 World Cup without a single defeat, while the Carthage Eagles set a record by reaching the finals without conceding a goal in qualifying. Can they pull off another surprise and stun Belgium on their home turf?
Head-to-Head
📊 Since 2002, these national teams have faced each other three times, including two World Cup clashes. Tunisia are yet to record a win, though they did manage a draw at the turn of the 21st century. Belgium have claimed the other two encounters, outscoring their opponents 6-2 on aggregate.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Belgium Team Overview
In January 2025, Rudi Garcia replaced Domenico Tedesco as head coach of the Belgium national team. Under the guidance of the French manager, the Red Devils delivered an exemplary World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign, going unbeaten in a group that featured tough opponents like Wales and North Macedonia. Belgium dropped points only three times, settling for draws against the Macedonians (1-1; 0-0) and Kazakhstan (1-1).
However, Garcia’s tenure with Belgium got off to a rocky start. The Frenchman suffered back-to-back defeats in the UEFA Nations League, which sent the team into the play-offs to retain their place in League A. The Red Devils lost the first leg to Ukraine (1-3), but bounced back with a resounding victory in the return fixture (3-0). Since then, Belgium have gone 12 matches unbeaten, with only four draws during this impressive run.

Tunisia Team Overview
Under Sami Trabelsi, Tunisia delivered an almost flawless campaign in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, racking up nine wins and a draw while setting a new record by keeping ten consecutive clean sheets. Despite this defensive masterclass, the Carthage Eagles were deemed to have underperformed at the Africa Cup of Nations by the federation, crashing out to Mali in the Round of 16 (1-1 after regular time; 2-3 on penalties). As a result, since January 2026, the team has been led by French-Tunisian coach Sabri Lamouchi.
Under Lamouchi, Tunisia have played three friendlies with mixed outcomes: a narrow win over Haiti (1-0), a goalless draw against Canada (0-0), and a defeat to Austria (0-1). Notably, the Carthage Eagles played with a man advantage from the 37th minute against the European side, but it made little difference on the scoreboard or in the stats-Austria dominated possession (59% to 41%) and had the edge in expected goals (1.33 xG to 1.01 xG).

⚽️ Goals Prediction
Tunisia are still struggling to adapt to their new manager’s philosophy. Over three friendlies, the Carthage Eagles have found the net just once-against Haiti, a side ranked nearly twice as low in the FIFA rankings. In fact, despite a narrow 1-0 win, the Haitians created more dangerous chances and outperformed Tunisia on xG (1.27 to 1.07). What’s more, the African side have now failed to score in seven consecutive away friendlies. Our prediction: Tunisia to score no goals at odds of 1.73*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Tunisia are one of the most European-style teams among African national sides. Their typical formation is a 4-2-3-1, with flexibility to shift into a 4-3-3. The squad boasts plenty of players from Europe’s top leagues, which helps the Carthage Eagles create set-piece opportunities even when they don’t dominate possession. Their pace out wide and tactical setup allow them to consistently reach their opponents’ corner flags. The odds on Tunisia’s individual corners line are simply too tempting to ignore. Editor’s pick: Tunisia over 2.5 corners at 2.2*.

Editor’s Prediction
As we’ve already pointed out, Tunisia are still struggling to recover from the departure of the coach who led them to the World Cup. While their back line remains solid under the new manager, the team continues to lack creativity going forward. Their attacking woes were on full display against Austria, where even with a numerical advantage, Tunisia failed to threaten in the final third.
Now up against a top-10 FIFA-ranked European side-especially away from home-Tunisia are unlikely to turn things around. Once again, we’ll back the visitors’ poor attacking record and opt for both teams to score (no) as our bet of choice. Predicted scoreline: a commanding 3-0 victory for the hosts, who have netted at least three goals in three of their last four home fixtures.
