The Maurice Revello Tournament 2026 reaches its conclusion in Bergen as Portugal U20, coached by Oceano, faces Tunisia U23 under Anis Boujelbene. Portugal arrive as the standout attacking force of the tournament, scoring nine goals across their last five matches, with João Rego leading the charge with three goals. Tunisia have been defensively solid at times but their 33% win rate this year tells a more complicated story than their run to this final suggests.
Two players deserve particular attention: Portugal’s João Rego, who leads the squad in goals (3) and free kicks taken (10) across the last five matches, making him the primary creative and finishing threat, and Tunisia’s Amenallah Meherzi, a midfield anchor who has racked up six interceptions and 225 minutes of play, acting as the defensive spine that keeps Tunisia organized. If Meherzi can disrupt Portugal’s rhythm in central areas, Tunisia have a genuine chance of keeping this close.
Hot stat: Portugal U20 scored six goals against Canada U20 in their most recent match, their highest single-game output of the tournament, which signals they arrive in the final in peak attacking form.

Portugal U20 vs Tunisia U23 Prediction
Portugal’s attacking output has been consistently high throughout this tournament. Their 44 total shots in five matches, combined with a pass accuracy of 1,144 out of 1,330 passes and a 75% win rate over the last 30 days, points firmly toward a Portugal win. Tunisia’s defense has conceded only four goals in five matches but they faced a 3-0 loss to Saudi Arabia U21 and a 0-3 defeat against Ivory Coast U20 earlier in the year, suggesting vulnerabilities against quality opposition.
Tunisia’s style is notably more physical and disruptive: 45 fouls committed versus Portugal’s 37, 10 yellow cards to Portugal’s 7, and 30 interceptions compared to Portugal’s 14. Tunisia will look to press, disrupt, and hit on the counter, making this a match where discipline and transitions matter. Portugal’s superior passing (1,330 vs 853 total passes) and ball control should allow them to manage the tempo, but Tunisia’s willingness to foul and break up play could slow the game. We predict Portugal to win, with goals coming from their superior attacking depth.

Team Analysis
Portugal U20 have been the most impressive team in this tournament. Their 4-1 win over Japan U19, a 3-1 victory against Venezuela U20, and the dominant 6-1 result against Canada U20 demonstrate a squad capable of scoring in volume. The only blemish was a 0-0 draw against Ivory Coast U23, a match that showed Portugal can be contained by organized, low-block opposition. Mauro Couto has been a key contributor with one goal and three assists, while Tiago Andrade has added two goals from forward positions. The squad’s form line reads five wins from their last five competitive outings, arriving in the final on the back of a very strong collective performance.
Tunisia U23’s path to the final has been more inconsistent. A 3-0 win over China U19 and a 3-0 victory against D.R. Congo U23 showed their attacking potential, but the 1-3 loss to Saudi Arabia U21 and a goalless draw against Colombia U19 in their most recent match highlight a team that struggles to break down organized defenses. Their 0-3 loss to Ivory Coast U20 earlier this year further underlines the inconsistency. Omar Ben Ali leads Tunisia’s attack with one goal and five shots across the tournament, but the overall attacking output of four goals in five matches is modest at best for a team in a final.

Portugal’s form, attacking depth, and passing quality make them clear favorites for this final. Their nine goals in five matches against Tunisia’s four, combined with a superior win rate over the last 30 days (75% vs 50%), justifies backing Portugal to win. Tunisia’s physicality and high interception count give them a route back into the game, but the gap in technical quality is real. The over 2.5 goals market looks attractive given Portugal’s scoring record, and both teams to score carries value given Tunisia’s ability to threaten on the counter.

Possible Starting Lineups
Portugal U20 Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: João Afonso
- DF: José Silva, Jónatas Noro, José Sampaio, Miguel Alves
- MF: Mathys De Carvalho, Afonso Assis Cunha Almeida, Tiago Freitas, Flávio Gonçalves
- FW: João Rego, Mauro Couto
Oceano is expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, consistent with their tournament approach. João Afonso gets the nod in goal based on appearances. The back four picks itself, with Jónatas Noro logging the most defensive minutes and José Sampaio contributing a goal from defense. In midfield, Afonso Assis Cunha Almeida provides the defensive cover with three interceptions, freeing João Rego to push forward. Rego is the player to watch, his three goals and ten free kicks taken make him the focal point of Portugal’s attacking play. Mauro Couto’s three assists from a forward-midfield role adds another dimension to their attack.
Tunisia U23 Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Anas Khardani
- DF: Rayan Boukadida, Josef Taieb, Mohamed Amine Allela, Youssef Herch
- MF: Dhirar Brik, Amenallah Meherzi, Mohamed Sadok Mahmoud, Louay Trayi
- FW: Omar Ben Ali, Walid Dhouib
Boujelbene will also deploy a 4-2-3-1 shape. Anas Khardani starts in goal, having made eight saves across the tournament. The double pivot of Dhirar Brik and Amenallah Meherzi forms the defensive foundation, with Meherzi’s six interceptions making him the most important player in Tunisia’s system. Omar Ben Ali leads the line with five shots in the tournament and one goal, making him the primary attacking outlet. To be honest, Tunisia’s forward options are limited in depth, and Ben Ali will need to be clinical to trouble a Portugal backline that has been largely composed throughout the tournament.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Portugal U20 enter this final as deserved favorites. Their attacking output of nine goals in five matches, 86% pass accuracy, and a form line showing five consecutive wins speaks for itself. Tunisia will make this difficult through their pressing, fouling, and organized defensive shape, but their 71% pass accuracy and four goals scored across the same period reflect a team that struggles to impose themselves against quality opposition.
We predict a Portugal U20 win, with goals coming from João Rego and Mauro Couto. Tunisia have the defensive tools to stay in it for a period, and perhaps grab a goal on the counter through Omar Ben Ali, which is why both teams to score remains a strong secondary pick. Portugal’s depth, technical quality, and form make them the clear choice to lift the Maurice Revello Trophy.
