Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe is eagerly anticipating the World Cup Group F clash between Tunisia and Japan.
The stakes are very clear for Tunisia: having been pounded by Sweden in the opener, another defeat would leave them with no possibility of making it into the knockout stage, despite having replaced manager in the interim.
Japan have given themselves a decent platform with a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands already in the bag, and could join the Dutch on four points at the top of the group.

BBC commentators for Japan vs Tunisia
The BBC will bring UK viewers coverage of this one, which is set to kick off at 10pm local time (5am UK time).
With coverage set to begin just ten minutes prior, that means the Beeb will continue their practice at this World Cup of eschewing the studio and instead throwing straight to their commentary team inside the ground in Mexico.
Commentator Robyn Cowen leads the BBC’s coverage of this fixture.
Due to the 5am kick-off time, the broadcaster decided a studio team of pundits and a presenter wouldn’t be a great use of resources.
The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week.
For that reason, the BBC threw straight to live match coverage with lead commentator Cowen and co-comms Charlie Adam .
Adam played 26 times for Scotland between 2007 and 2015.
These days, he is set-piece coach at David Moyes’ Everton.
