Japan and Tunisia face off at Monterrey’s Estadio BBVA in Mexico, in a critical Group F match at the 2026 World Cup today.

Japan began their campaign with a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands, coming from behind twice. Per The Athletic’s projection model, Japan has an 85 per cent chance of advancing past the group stage right now and a victory today would all but guarantee it.

Herve Renard has now taken over, and his Tunisia managerial debut will be fascinating to watch.
