Tunisia will face Japan this Sunday, June 21, at 4 a.m. GMT at the Monterrey Stadium as part of the second matchday of the World Cup group stage.

After their heavy defeat to Sweden, the Carthage Eagles made a coaching change. Hervé Renard has replaced Sabri Lamouchi on the bench and will try to revive the squad against a Japanese side that managed to hold the Netherlands to a draw in their tournament opener.
