France go into the final game of Group D knowing that qualification for the World Cup Round of 16 has already been secured.

For Tunisia, the situation is much more difficult. The North Africans need to win to stay in the tournament and will finish second if the game between Australia and Denmark ends in a draw.

If a win is at stake, Jalal Kadri could call on old Premier League favorites Wahbi Khazri to liven up the attack.
The former Sunderland forward has yet to play a game in attack as Naim Sliti and Youssef Msakni are favored in the front places behind striker Issam Jebali but could get his chance this time.

With qualification already secured, France coach Didier Deschamps could use the opportunity to give some of the players who have not yet played an opportunity to play.
That could mean Raphael Varane, who has just recovered from injury, and Olivier Giroud both sidelined. However, Kylian Mbappe, who has already scored three goals in this tournament, will be difficult to persuade to take a break.
