The first game on Saturday in the World Cup is going to be between Tunisia and Australia. In the first round, Tunisia demonstrated very good defense and got a point against Denmark while Australia played against France. Australians shocked the world with an early goal but the lead wasn't for a long time as France started to play much better and Australians weren't able to defend as they lost 1:4 in the end.

Tunisia has played well this year as they have beaten teams like Iran, Japan and Chile. Of course, Tunisia was an underdog and this year the team has won 4 out of the 6 games in which they were underdogs. While being a favorite, Tunisia has only won 2 out of the 6 games. As for today's game, Tunisia is listed as the favorite. Australia hasn't won the last seven games in the World Cup. After the first game against France, the head coach Graham Arnold said that opponents were better but mentioned that his guys did everything they could.

Tunisia controlled the ball only 39% of the time versus Denmark and made only 1 shot on target. The same can be said about Australia but their opponent was much better, and Australians controlled the ball 38% of the time. Tunisian problems with offense were also seen in the World Cup qualifier as Tunisia only averaged 1.44 xG per 90 minutes. At the same time, their defense has been great because they have conceded only 5 times in the last 16 games. Australia is a better team when they are attacking and this game is the opportunity where they should do it because they need 3 points if they want to compete to get into the next tournament phase.

Both teams aren't the greatest on offense. At the same time, Australians managed to score once against France and that is very encouraging. It shows that the team is capable to score against every team. Tunisia isn't the best team on offense and I see that Australia could win this game or at least not lose it.

周六世界杯的第一场比赛将在突尼斯和澳大利亚之间进行。在第一轮比赛中，突尼斯表现出了出色的防守，在对阵丹麦的比赛中拿到了1分，而澳大利亚对阵法国。澳大利亚队早早的进球震惊了世界，但领先的优势并没有持续太久，因为法国队开始发挥得更好，澳大利亚队无力防守，最终以1:4落败。

突尼斯今年表现不错，他们击败了伊朗、日本和智利等球队。当然，突尼斯是一支不被看好的球队，今年他们在6场不被看好的比赛中赢了4场。突尼斯虽然是夺冠热门，但在6场比赛中只赢了2场。至于今天的比赛，突尼斯被列为夺冠热门。澳大利亚队在世界杯上过去七场比赛都没有赢过。在与法国的第一场比赛后，主教练格雷厄姆·阿诺德说对手更好，但他提到他的球员已经尽了他们所能。

突尼斯在对阵丹麦的比赛中只有39%的控球率，只有1次射正。同样的话也可以用在澳大利亚身上，但是他们的对手要好得多，澳大利亚人38%的时间里控制着球。突尼斯的进攻问题在世界杯预选赛中也得到了体现，突尼斯每90分钟平均只有1.44 xG。与此同时，他们的防守也非常出色，因为他们在过去的16场比赛中只丢了5次球。澳大利亚在进攻时是一支更好的球队，这场比赛是他们应该做到这一点的机会，因为如果他们想要进入下一阶段的比赛，他们需要3分。

两支球队的进攻都不是最好的。与此同时，澳大利亚在与法国的比赛中打入一球，这非常令人鼓舞。这表明球队有能力在对阵任何球队时得分。突尼斯在进攻上不是最好的球队，我认为澳大利亚可以赢得这场比赛，至少不会输。
