The two countries will face off in Volgograd in June, and Tunisia's Nabil Maaloul is confident that his side are capable of springing an upset
A huge test awaits Tunisia upon their return to the 2018 World Cup from a 12-year absence as they begin with a clash against England, but coach Nabil Maaloul is hoping his side can spring a surprise and damage the Three Lions' hopes early on in the global tournament.
Tunisia, who last featured in the competition in 2006, secured their place in this year's tournament by finishing a point ahead of DR Congo in a thrilling end to the African qualifiers and were drawn in Group G, alongside Belgium and Panama.
