Tunisia vs Netherlands Stats, Match Statistics, xG & Player Data

(Kansas City)

Tunisia vs Netherlands stats start from a Group F match at Kansas City Stadium, where the Tunisia national football team face the Netherlands national football team on 25 June 2026. Tunisia enter with one goal scored and nine conceded through two World Cup matches, while the Dutch enter with seven goals scored and three conceded. The public xG and shot data give the Netherlands a clear pre-match edge, but the final group match still needs live-event confirmation after kickoff.
Tunisia World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a team trying to end Group F with a stronger defensive performance after losses to Sweden and Japan. Netherlands World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a side that drew with Japan and then beat Sweden 5-1. The match belongs to the World Cup 2026 Group F standings and fixtures race, with the Netherlands still pushing for group position.
The fixture is scheduled at Kansas City Stadium, also known locally as GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. It also fits the World Cup 2026 stats and records tracker because the Dutch attack has one of the strongest scoring averages in Group F. Full match stats should replace these pre-match averages after the official feed closes.
Tunisia vs Netherlands Stats – Match Statistics Overview
Tunisia’s numbers show how difficult the group has been. They average 0.5 goals, 0.2 xG, and 4.0 shots per match through two games. That low chance volume means Tunisia need cleaner exits and more support around the first forward pass.
The Netherlands bring a stronger statistical profile into kickoff. They average 3.5 goals, 1.7 xG, and 11.5 shots per match. Their 5-1 win over Sweden changed the tone of the group and gave Ronald Koeman’s side a sharper attacking base.
Tunisia vs Netherlands Stats Snapshot
The snapshot uses verified public pre-match data because the official match feed has not opened yet. FOX lists the Netherlands ahead in goals, expected goals, shots, average possession, and chances created. Tunisia’s best route is a compact defensive game that limits central shots and keeps the score close into the second half.
| Stat | Tunisia | Netherlands |
|---|---|---|
| Group Points | 0 | 4 |
| Goals Per Match | 0.5 | 3.5 |
| xG Per Match | 0.2 | 1.7 |
| Goals Against Per Match | 4.5 | 1.5 |
| Shots Per Match | 4.0 | 11.5 |
| Average Possession | 52% | 62% |
| Chances Created Avg | 2.5 | 10.5 |
Attacking Stats Comparison
The attack gap is the clearest part of the pre-match data. Tunisia have scored once from eight total shots across two group matches. Omar Rekik is their only goal leader in the ESPN feed before kickoff.
The Netherlands have spread goals across the front line. Cody Gakpo, Crysencio Summerville, and Brian Brobbey each have two goals in the public leader data. That spread matters because Tunisia cannot focus only on one runner or one crossing lane.
| Attack Stat | Tunisia | Netherlands |
|---|---|---|
| Goals Per Match | 0.5 | 3.5 |
| Expected Goals Avg | 0.2 | 1.7 |
| Shots Per Match | 4.0 | 11.5 |

| Shot Conversion | 13% | 30% |
| Leading Scorer | Omar Rekik | Cody Gakpo / Crysencio Summerville / Brian Brobbey |
Defensive Stats Comparison
Tunisia’s defensive record creates the main pressure point. They have conceded nine goals in two matches and have no clean sheet in Group F. Aymen Dahmen and Mouhib Chamakh both appear with one save in the ESPN leader feed.
The Netherlands have conceded three goals, but their attacking control has covered those gaps. Bart Verbruggen leads the Dutch save data with eight saves. If Tunisia cannot reach the Dutch box, the match may tilt toward one-way pressure.
| Defensive Stat | Tunisia | Netherlands |
|---|---|---|
| Goals Against | 9 | 3 |
| Goals Against Per Match | 4.5 | 1.5 |
| Clean Sheets | 0 | 0 |
| Keeper Saves | 2 | 8 |

Passing and Possession Analysis
FOX lists Tunisia at 52% average possession and the Netherlands at 62% through two group matches. The possession gap is useful, but chance creation tells the stronger story. The Netherlands average 10.5 chances created per match, while Tunisia average 2.5.
Tunisia need Montassar Talbi and Omar Rekik to keep the first pass clean under pressure. The Netherlands can build through Virgil van Dijk, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Frenkie de Jong, who lead the accurate-pass data. If those three control the ball, Tunisia may spend long spells defending their box.
| Passing Stat | Tunisia | Netherlands |
|---|---|---|
| Average Possession | 52% | 62% |
| Chances Created Avg | 2.5 | 10.5 |
| Accurate Pass Leader | Montassar Talbi | Virgil van Dijk |

Key Player Statistics
Tunisia’s leader board is narrow before kickoff. Rekik has the goal, Mejbri has the assist, and Talbi leads their accurate-pass count. Those numbers show why Tunisia need more midfield runners to join Firas Chaouat and the attacking line.
The Netherlands have stronger player depth in the public data. Gakpo leads shots and shares the goal lead, Brobbey leads Dutch xG, and Verbruggen has eight saves. Koeman can lean on several sources of output if Tunisia defend deep.
| Player | Team | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| Omar Rekik | Tunisia | 1 goal, 2 shots on goal, 0.2 xG |
| Hannibal Mejbri | Tunisia | 1 assist, 2 total shots |
| Montassar Talbi | Tunisia | 83 accurate passes, 1 shot |
| Cody Gakpo | Netherlands | 2 goals, 1 assist, 7 shots |
| Bart Verbruggen | Netherlands | 8 saves, 28% save rate |
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG gap is large before kickoff. Tunisia average 0.2 xG per match, while the Netherlands average 1.7. That means the Dutch have produced more frequent and higher-value shooting sequences through two matches.
Tunisia can still affect the xG battle by slowing the game and protecting central lanes. They cannot afford early turnovers near their own penalty area. The Netherlands should create enough shots if their wingers pin Tunisia’s wing-backs deep.
