Tunisia vs. Australia: How do both squads compare ahead of World Cup clash?

Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Tunisia and Australia compare ahead of Saturday's World Cup clash between the two sides.

Tunisia and Australia will be looking to pick up their first win of the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they face off at the Al Janoub Stadium on Saturday.

Jalel Kadri's men secured an impressive 0-0 draw against Denmark in their opener last time out, while Graham Arnold's men were on the receiving end of a 4-1 thrashing against current world champions France.

Defeat for either of Saturday's opponents would all but spell the end of their World Cup campaign, and we are expecting a thrilling encounter in this one.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Tunisia and Australia stack up against each other ahead of the contest.
