Denmark vs. Tunisia: How do both squads compare ahead of World Cup clash?

Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Denmark and Tunisia compare ahead of Tuesday's World Cup clash between the two sides.

Denmark and Tunisia get their respective 2022 World Cup campaigns underway on Tuesday with their Group D opener at the Education City Stadium.

Kasper Hjulmand's side made it all the way to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 last year and have been tipped to go deep in this year's competition too.

Tunisia, meanwhile, head to Qatar as underdogs to make it through a group which also includes the defending champions France.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Denmark and Tunisia stack up against each other ahead of the contest.
