Current betting line (via OddsShark.com):
Tunisia win: +800
England win: -230

NESN.com’s picks: England win, under
England hasn’t won a World Cup game since 2010 and is hell-bent on ending that drought in Russia. England also knows topping Group G is crucial to its chances of making a deep run in the tournament, so the team will look to win by large margins against Tunisia and Panama before playing mighty Belgium. With that in mind, England is a good bet to win.
Having fared well in qualifying and warm-up games against Portugal and Spain, Tunisia’s defense has proven it’s good enough to contain England’s high-powered attack. Whether that happens for 90 minutes remains to be seen, but the prospect of three or more goals looks remote. Take the under.
