Tunisia Eyes First Win Over Belgium in Saturday Friendly Ahead of World Cup 2026

Sabri Lamouchi’s side seeks to tighten a defense that has conceded just once in 270 minutes, while Belgium looks to extend an unbeaten run of 12 matches.

Ahead of a Saturday showdown, Tunisia and Belgium will meet in a friendly that offers both squads a final chance to sharpen their tactics before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

A Milestone for the Eagles

For Tunisia, the match represents more than a warm‑up; it is an opportunity to finally break a 34‑year winless streak against the Red Devils, a drought that dates back to a 1992 victory that still fuels the team’s ambition.

Under the guidance of new manager Sabri Lamouchi, the Carthage Eagles have emphasized defensive solidity, a focus that has already paid dividends, with the side conceding only a single goal in their last 270 minutes of play.

Belgium’s Unbeaten Momentum

Belgium arrives with a 12‑match unbeaten run intact, having secured a 2‑0 victory over Croatia just days earlier under manager Rudi Garcia, whose tactical adjustments have kept the team firing on all cylinders.

The Belgian side will soon face Egypt in their opening Group G encounter at the World Cup, a fixture that adds another layer of preparation as they fine‑tune their attacking patterns.

Looking Ahead to Group G

Tunisia’s first World Cup opponent will be Sweden, a team that presents a different style of play, while Belgium’s early match against Egypt could set the tone for their campaign. Both nations see the friendly as a crucial test of depth and resilience before the tournament begins.
