Sweden starting lineup vs Tunisia confirmed for FIFA World Cup 2026 match

This will be the first-ever clash between these sides on the world stage.

The Sweden national football team is all set to battle it out against the Tunisia national football team in match 2 of Group F at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This is going to be an interesting game to watch, taking place at the Monterrey Stadium.

The Graham Potter-led side have put in underwhelming performances in their international friendlies ahead of the mega competition. They first faced a 1-3 defeat against Erling Haaland’s Norway and then secured a draw against Greece. It will now be interesting to see their performances on the grandest stage of them all.

Sabri Lamouchi’s men are heading into the FIFA World Cup 2026 with back-to-back losses in their last two friendly games. This will only make things tougher. Sweden is not going to be an easy challenge for them, but the Tunisia national football team is looking to come up with a strong fight.

Sweden’s predicted lineup for their opening World Cup game against Tunisia:

Sweden (3-4-1-2): Kristoffer Nordfeldt (GK); Gustaf Lagerbielke, Isak Hien, Victor Lindelof; Alexander Bernhardsson, Jesper Karlstrom, Yasin Ayari, Gabriel Gudmundsson; Benjamin Nygren; Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres

Thoughts on the lineup

Between the sticks, Kristoffer Nordfeldt will be ready to take charge. Helping him to defend the goalpost will be Gustaf Lagerbielke, Isak Hien and Victor Lindelof.

Lindelof is all set to captain the Sweden national football team at the FIFA World Cup 2026. With decent quality in the midfield, players like Alexander Bernhardsson, Jesper Karlstrom, Yasin Ayari and Gabriel Gudmundsson will be looking to establish control. Benjamin Nygren is most likely to be the lone attacking midfielder.

Graham Potter will be looking to come up with a dual-striker setup in the attacking front. Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres will be responsible for firing the ball at the back of the net.
