Tunisia and Japan face off in the early hours of Sunday morning, with both sides hoping to land their first Group F win.
Japan played out a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in their World Cup opener, when Crystal Palace’s Daichi Kamada netted an 89th-minute equaliser.

Hajime Moriyasu’s side, who have made it to the round of 16 in their last two World Cup appearances, will know they need to beat Tunisia as their final group game against Sweden will likely decide who’s battling with the Netherlands for top spot in Group F.
Tunisia had a horror start to their World Cup campaign after losing 5-1 against Sweden and that result led to their manager Sabri Lamouchi being sacked.
Tunisia, who play Japan and then the Netherlands in Group F, have never made it out of the group stages and they need a major turnaround if they are to end that streak.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Tunisia v Japan on TV and online.
