Belgium vs Tunisia Prediction & Betting Tips – 06/06/2026
Belgium welcome Tunisia to the Stade Roi Baudouin on 6 June 2026 in an afternoon friendly that carries genuine significance for both sides. With the World Cup looming, this is the final opportunity for Rudi Garcia's squad to fine-tune their preparations and settle on a starting eleven. For Tunisia, it represents a valuable test against elite European opposition as Sabri Lamouchi continues to blood younger talent into his rebuilt side. Neither nation can afford a flat performance at this stage of the summer.
Match Analysis
Belgium enter as commanding favorites at 1.35, backed by a perfect H2H record against Tunisia and strong pre-tournament momentum. Despite key absences, De Bruyne, Doku, and Onana preserve genuine quality in a settled, World Cup-ready squad.
- 2 wins from 2 H2H meetings, including a 5-2 demolition of Tunisia at the 2018 World Cup.
- 3.63 goals scored per 90 in WC qualifying underlines Belgium's relentless attacking output.
- Unbeaten in last 5 matches (W3 D2), including a 2-0 warm-up win over Croatia on June 2.
- De Bruyne, Doku, and Onana retain the creative spine despite Lukaku, Debast, and Trossard being sidelined.
Tunisia face a steep challenge at 9.00, arriving in transition under Lamouchi, who is integrating younger players and rotating between formations. Their African qualifying defensive record is impressive, but the quality gap against Belgium is substantial.
- Zero goals conceded in 10 qualifying matches came exclusively against lower-tier African opposition.
- Tactical instability under Lamouchi, alternating between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 with an unsettled squad.
- Rebuilding phase with younger, less experienced players facing a cohesive Belgium unit pre-World Cup.
Key point: With both defenses cautious in a pre-tournament friendly and three Belgium starters absent, N/A offers a compelling alternative angle despite Belgium's attacking pedigree.

Low confidence
Both lineups carry a speculative tag ahead of this friendly, so the precise shape of the contest remains subject to change. That said, a 4-2-3-1 versus 4-3-3 contest is anticipated, with Kevin De Bruyne operating in the creative pocket behind a lone striker for the Red Devils.
Tunisia's midfield trio, anchored by Ellyes Skhiri, will need to press intelligently to deny Belgium the space their wide attackers crave. With both sets of coaches likely to rotate freely across the ninety minutes, the tactical picture may shift considerably from kickoff onwards.
Our Verdict
Belgium's home win at 1.35 represents the standout selection here. The Red Devils boast a flawless record against Tunisia across two previous meetings, scoring six goals in the process, and their recent form of two wins and a draw inspires confidence. Romelu Lukaku's return adds genuine firepower against a side still bedding in younger personnel. Tunisia's remarkable qualifying defensive record deserves respect, yet Belgium's quality at home should prove decisive. Back the hosts to prevail. 18+. Please gamble responsibly.
