Sweden vs. Tunisia: Head-to-head record and past meetings after Graham Potter's record massive World Cup win

Sweden took full control of their head-to-head with Tunisia with a dominant 5-1 victory in their 2026 World Cup fixture.

There had been the perception that the showdown between Graham Potter's side and the African nation would be evenly-fought.

However, Sweden were 2-0 ahead by the half-hour mark, and although Tunisia were able to halve the deficit before the half-time whistle in Philadelphia, their European opponents netted three more times after the break to take control of Group F after matchday one.

The two sides were making history on Sunday, with their previous four encounters having all been international friendlies that took place between 1976 and 2003.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Sweden and Tunisia.

Sweden and Tunisia have locked horns on five previous occasions, and it is the former that leads the head-to-head record with three victories to one, while there has also been one draw.

Prior to their World Cup fixture in the United States, Najeh Braham scored the only goal of the match in a 1-0 win for Tunisia, with that victory following back-to-back defeats against Sweden.

Yasin Ayari made history with regards to this particular head-to-head in the latest fixture having become the first player to score more than once in a single game or across the history of this fixture.
