the two arab teams will be very competitive, as they will both feel that its this game that they can earn 3 points. So I expect a very attack oriented game, even though both teams rely on defence.

I give the edge to Tunis, because of their deadly striker Santos (Saudis have problem marking this type of player)

[The Old Lady Hertha]

Tunisia 1:1 Saudi Arabia

A match that pretty much will sum up both their chances in the WC. Saudis take the lead through Al-Qahtani. Tunisia does get a goal back through Santos, but this match is of poor quality.

I expect Tunisia to win, uh, 2-0.

Tunisia really should destroy S Arabia. I've seen both teams play and Tunisia is on a much higher level than the Saudis, however the fact that it is an all Arab game might make it more competitive, and usually when similar style teams play each other it is a lot closer than perhaps it should be. But if Tunisia play their game right they are worth a 3-0 victory.

Tunisia barely scores more than 2 goals even on weaker opposition.

they beat Australia 2-0
beat Zambia 4-1
beat S. Africa 2-0

Australia and S. Africa are considrably better than S. Arabia, I would even argue that Zambia is better than S. Arabia.

They averaged over 2 goals in the WC qualifiers and they averaged 2 goals in the African Nations Cup.

Saudi Arabia always performs good against African teams, specially Arab African teams, I predict a 2-1 win for us, this is the must win game for both sides, so it should be entertaining.

[daluun]

I definitely thing that Tunisia will win this one to.. They are one of the best african teams around and is a class better than saudi. 2-0 maybe... Any Tunisia fans around who know how the starting line up will be? and who the regular penalty taker is?
