Sweden vs. Tunisia - Halftime Result

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

Sweden and Tunisia meet in the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on 14 June at 10:00 PM ET. The market prices the probability of Sweden leading at halftime at 0%, suggesting traders on Polygon are currently pricing near-zero conviction that the Swedes will be ahead when the referee blows for the interval. This reflects both team quality and recent form, though the extreme probability floor warrants scrutiny given that even heavy underdogs occasionally score first in competitive matches.

Historical halftime results in World Cup group stages show that favourites do establish leads by the 45-minute mark more often than not, yet the distribution is wider than markets sometimes reflect. In qualifying for 2026, Sweden finished second in their UEFA group with 20 points from eight matches, whilst Tunisia qualified from Africa with a mixed record. Sweden's recent friendlies and competitive fixtures have shown variable attacking output; Tunisia's defensive record in African Cup of Nations qualifying was notably porous. The 0% probability on this contract suggests traders view a Swedish halftime lead as sufficiently unlikely that conditional token pricing has collapsed to near-zero, leaving minimal margin for error.

Traders should monitor team news through early June, particularly injury status for Sweden's attacking players and Tunisia's defensive line. Fixture congestion in the days before 14 June could affect squad rotation and fatigue levels. Weather conditions at the venue—temperature and pitch state—may influence early-game tempo. Recent FIFA rankings and head-to-head records show Sweden as substantially stronger on paper, yet the extreme market pricing leaves little room for the variance inherent in 45 minutes of football.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
