Sweden seek repair as Tunisia battle World Cup history
Both nations arrive in Monterrey desperate for an opening victory to boost their 62.6% and 16.7% respective chances of escaping a competitive Group F.
Sweden enter the tournament with a reputation in need of repair after failing to secure a single group-stage win during their qualification process. Despite this, they remain difficult to beat, having lost just one of their last five matches, including high-scoring victories over Poland and Ukraine.
Tunisia are under the fresh guidance of Sabri Lamouchi, who took over in January following a disappointing AFCON exit. While they qualified with a historic record of zero goals conceded, momentum has stalled under the new manager; the Carthage Eagles have failed to score in three straight games and were heavily beaten 5-0 by Belgium in their final warm-up fixture.
