Group G- Naim Sliti
Most of the discussion surrounding Group G has revolved around Belgium and England, an intriguing team in the group is Tunisia. For Tunisia to advance past the group stage, they will require significant production from Dijon attacking midfielder Naim Sliti. Luckily for them, Sliti was impressive in Ligue 1 last year.
The 25-year-old finished 16th in player rating in Ligue 1, quite remarkable for a player who was surrounded with subpar talent at Dijon. Sliti managed to make 1.9 key passes per game, good enough for 11th in Ligue 1. Most of these key passes were crosses, as the Tunisian made 1.1 crosses per game (tied with Neymar for 19th in the league). Yet, Sliti’s strongest suit might be his dribbling where he was tied for 3rd in Ligue 1 with 3.4 per game.
Tunisia will likely focus on defending against England and Belgium. Like many defensively-oriented teams, they will likely look at set-pieces as one of their best ways of scoring. Here, Sliti will be particularly impressive as he managed to successfully make 1.1 accurate corner passes in Ligue 1, tied for 9th in the league.
