Both Tunisia and Panama are looking to get their first win of the World Cup following two group defeats.

Tunisia had a better game against England than against Belgium. The North African side managed two goals during their 5-2 loss to Belgium and also a goal against England during the group stage opener thanks to Ferjani Sassi’s penalty.

Panama are coming into this game on the back of a heavy defeat at the hands of England. Panama scored their first ever World Cup goal in that game, which came when Felipe Baloy following Ricardo Ávila’s free kick into the penalty area.

Head to head

England have the better of their Group G opponents in meetings, and are unbeaten in the last 11 games against Belgium.

Their most recent match was a 2012 Wembley friendly where Danny Welbeck scored the only goal of the game.
