However, the North Africans will have to bring their A-level game to come out tops over Uruguay. Tunisia will fancy their chances against the South Americans after a spirited second-half performance against the Iraqis. They'll love to reproduce it and guarantee their progress to the next stage of the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Tunisia goalkeeper Edries Arfaoui made 11 saves and allowed 0 goals in a 3-0 win over Iraq today.

Interestingly, Uruguay has scored the most goals in Group E. They'll hope to keep up their display in front of goal against the Tunisians. However, they'll be careful not to overcommit in attack, as a draw guarantees them a second-place finish.
