Sweden vs Tunisia: Who Will Score the First Goal in Tonight's World Cup Match?
Gyökeres at +170, Isak at +180 anytime, Elanga at +425 — full FanDuel odds and expert analysis for the final Group F opener of the opening weekend in Monterrey.
Sunday, June 14, 2026 · All odds via FanDuel · FS1 · 10 PM ET
Sweden close out the opening day of the 2026 World Cup with arguably the most loaded attacking partnership in Group F — Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak starting together for the first time on the World Cup stage. Against a Tunisia side that was thrashed 5-0 by Belgium in their final warm-up and has won just once in seven matches, the goalscorer market is firmly weighted toward the Swedish front line. Gyökeres leads all players with a 43% anytime probability, Isak tops the ESPN board at +180, and Elanga at +425 is the dark horse value play. Here's the full breakdown.

📋 Predicted Lineups
🇸🇪

GK: Johansson |
DEF: Svensson, Lindelöf, Lagerbielke, Gudmundsson |
MID: Karlström, Hien, Ayari |
FWD: Elanga,
Gyökeres,
Isak
OUT: Emil Holm (RB). Oddschecker confirms all three attacking starters fit and available. Gyökeres scored decisive play-off winners vs Ukraine and Poland. Isak confirmed fit after fibula recovery. Sweden conceded in 11 straight — both teams expected to score per CBS SportsLine Eimer.
🇹🇳
Tunisia — 4-3-3 (Lamouchi)
GK: Dahmen |
DEF: Valery, Bronn, Talbi, Abdi |
MID: Mejbri⚠️,
Skhiri, Khedira |
FWD: Tounekti,
Saad, Achouri
⚠️ Mejbri questionable (knock). Tunisia lost 5-0 to Belgium in final warm-up. Won just once in last 7 matches. Qualified unbeaten in Africa — but opponents included Namibia, Liberia, Malawi. No conceded goals in qualifying but facing a very different level tonight.
⭐ Pick #1: Viktor Gyökeres — Anytime +170
Viktor Gyökeres
Sweden CF · Arsenal (EPL) · 43% anytime probability · 0.57 projected goals
Fox Sports confirmed +170 on FanDuel
WhoScored: 43% probability — leads ALL players
JuveFc + CBS Sports + Covers + Football Whispers
Play-off winner vs Poland — scored decisive goals
1.34 projected shots on target — most of any player
Gyökeres is the unanimous expert pick and Fox Sports confirms the +170 price on FanDuel. WhoScored's model gives him a 43% anytime goalscorer probability and a projected 0.57 goals — both the highest of any player in this match. JuveFc recommend him specifically: "Viktor Gyokeres to Score Anytime — scored decisive goals in the play-offs, including the winner against Poland, and leads Sweden's attack as the focal forward." CBS Sports backs him directly: "Sweden's goalscoring output will depend heavily on Gyokeres — he scored 14 goals and won the Premier League with Arsenal."
Football Whispers add: "Gyokeres to score anytime at 31/20 (2.55) may be worth a punt." Covers describe the "fruitful partnership between Arsenal's Gyökeres and Liverpool's Isak." WhoScored projects him to register 1.34 shots on target — the most of any player in the match. Against a Tunisia defence that conceded 5 to Belgium and has won just once in 7 matches, +170 for Sweden's clinical focal forward with the highest modelled probability is the clearest first goalscorer pick of the entire opening weekend.

🎯 Pick #2: Alexander Isak — Anytime +180 / First +475
Alexander Isak
Sweden CF · Liverpool (EPL) · ✅ Fit · 39.60% probability per Tips.GG
✅ Fully fit — confirmed training normally
Tips.GG: 39.60% probability — 2nd highest
3.4 projected shots — WhoScored model
JuveFc: "strong recent international scoring form"
Scored vs Norway warm-up — proved fit to finish
Isak tops the ESPN first goalscorer board at +475 — the highest-priced "confirmed starter" line on the table. Tips.GG gives him a 39.60% anytime probability, the second-highest of any player. WhoScored projects him to register 3.4 shots — the most of any player in the match, indicating he'll be Sweden's most active shot-creator even if the goals flow through Gyökeres.
JuveFc: "Isak, now at Liverpool, endured an injury-disrupted club campaign but has been in strong recent international scoring form." He proved his fitness by scoring in the Norway warm-up — a 76th-minute strike that was Sweden's only goal. At +180 anytime for a Liverpool striker who is fully recovered and has the second-highest projected goal probability in the match, this is the best-value pick for those who find +170 on Gyökeres too short. If Gyökeres draws the defence, Isak is the finisher who exploits the space.

💎 Value Pick: Anthony Elanga — Anytime +425 / First +1100
Anthony Elanga
Sweden LW · Newcastle United (EPL) · 2 goals in past 6 Sweden appearances
SportsgGambler: "+300 confirmed recommendation"
2 goals in past 6 Sweden appearances
Confirmed starting LW — Oddschecker + WhoScored
Scored in SWE play-off win vs Poland
SportsgGambler make the explicit case for Elanga: "Anthony Elanga has registered two goals in his past six games. We'll bear these numbers in mind and take odds of +300 that he is able to feature on the scoresheet." Note the +300 price they referenced has moved to +425 on ESPN's board — making the value even stronger if anything. Both Oddschecker and WhoScored confirm him as a starting left winger in Potter's 4-3-3. His Newcastle profile — direct, pacey, arriving into the box from wide — is specifically the counter-attacking threat that can punish Tunisia's defensive line if they push up. He also scored a goal in Sweden's play-off win against Poland that sent them to this World Cup. When Gyökeres and Isak drag Tunisia's centre-backs, Elanga is the player arriving late into the space on the left. At +425 anytime (+1100 first scorer), the pricing significantly undervalues a starting attacker with 2 goals in 6 Sweden appearances.

📋 Other Contenders
Lucas Bergvall ~+380 · SWE AM
~+380
Tottenham's 20-year-old midfielder may start as the attacking midfielder in Potter's system. JuveFc describe him as a "dynamic option in the engine room" with a potential starter role. His late runs and shooting ability make him a credible longshot if he gets minutes.
Hazem Mastouri +360 · TUN FW
+360
Tunisia's highest-listed forward on the odds board. CBS SportsLine Eimer backs Tunisia's attack pressing Sweden's leaky defence: "Sweden have conceded in 11 straight — both teams expected to score." Mastouri at +360 is the best-priced Tunisia forward if you want exposure to the CBS Over narrative.
Ellyes Skhiri ~+500 · TUN MF
~+500
CBS SportsLine Eimer specifically backs Skhiri: "I expect Ellyes Skhiri and Ali Abdi to take their experience with European football and press for some much needed early goals." Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder with 80+ caps — Tunisia's most experienced player and primary attacking carrier from deep. Best Tunisia value play if you believe the Over narrative.
