Tunisia kicks off its World Cup campaign against Sweden this Monday, June 15 at 2 a.m. GMT in Mexico. The Estadio BBVA in Monterrey will set the stage for this Group F clash.

Heading into their showdown with Sweden, Tunisia’s record against Scandinavian nations remains mixed. The Carthage Eagles have managed only two wins in 12 encounters versus teams from this region.

Their first victory came against Iceland in a friendly back in 1993, with a 3-1 scoreline, followed by a win over Sweden—also in a friendly—in 2003, thanks to a Najeh Braham goal in Rades.
