Tunisia's national football team, the Eagles of Carthage, is reportedly set to adopt a 3-4-2-1 formation for their crucial World Cup match against Japan on Sunday.

The second group stage game, scheduled for 5 a.m. local time at the Monterrey stadium, is considered decisive for both teams as they aim to secure a strong position in Group F after the first round of matches.

According to available information, the probable starting lineup for Tunisia is: Aymen Dahmen in goal, with a defensive trio of Montassar Talbi, Yan Valery, and Omar Rekik. The midfield is expected to feature Ali Abdi, Moez Nefati (or Adam Arous), Elyes Skhiri, and Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane or Mohamed Haj Mahmoud. Offensive support is anticipated from Hannibal Mejbri and Anis Ben Slimane (or Elyes Saad), with Firas Chaouat leading the attack.

The coaching staff may implement last-minute changes, particularly in midfield and offensive positions, depending on the players' current form and the tactical approach against a Japanese team known for its speed and intensity.
