Japan W vs England W Prediction & Betting tips
With Japan and England meet the two top teams of Group D at the 2019 World Cup on each other. While Coach El Nelville’s side are hoping for a Brexit from the group stage without losing points, Japan could still jump into first place if they win at the Allianz Riviera Stadium in Nice. Currently, the Japanese are two points behind and after a goalless draw to the opening match against Argentina showed the shape curve last up when Scotland was defeated 2-1. The team is in France after a rejuvenation with a very young squad at the start, which they lack some experience.
With England, the country that was previously represented at each World Cup, also meets a strong opponent game. England also have a very good coach with former Manchester United professional Phil Neville. In Japan against England, the odds also easily give the Three Lionesses the role of favorites. The prognosis, however, provides for a draw. This would be the outcome of the game, with which the Kickerinnen of the island defend the championship lead and Japan solves the ticket for the knockout stages. The Japan versus England tip goes hand in hand with the use of four units.
Japan:
The Japanese have not yet found the right way into the tournament. The eleven was rejuvenated in the run-up to the World Cup on various positions. More than half of the squad is under 23 years old and overall it seems that the team is still struggling with voting problems on the turf. This is especially true for the offensive game of “Nadeshiko Japan”. In the first group match in the disappointing 0: 0 against Argentina was shot only once directly on the opponent’s goal. Although Argentina showed quite a strong defensive performance, but the vice-world champion should actually find enough answers for such a style of play and still achieve a victory.
At least the most recent duel from the perspective of Japan was significantly more positive. Although the success was scored 2-1 against Scotland on paper, but overall, the team of coach Asako Takakura presented especially in the offensive clearly improved. The consolation goal for the first time at a World Cup represented Schottinnen fell just before the end of the game. Nevertheless, it has become clear after the first two games that the 2011 World Champion is not one of the favorites for the title at this final round. A verdict, which is underpinned by the appearances this year before the World Cup. Japan lost not only against England last March, but also against France, followed by two draws against Germany and Spain. The success against Scotland thus ended a series of no less than five games without victory.
England:
At this World Cup, England is one of the shortlist of candidates for the title. The national team has come a long way in the last decade and is benefiting, among other things, from the increasingly close cooperation between the men’s and women’s sections of the Premier League clubs. Even at the last World Cup, it was enough for third place. How well the English women are up to date, was observed at the SheBelieves Cup last March. In addition to the English women Brazil, USA and the upcoming opponents were at the start. In the end, the Neville troupe prevailed without defeat and scored, among other things, a very respectable 2: 2 against the World Cup top favorites from the United States. Furthermore, as mentioned, the Japanese women clearly with 3: 0 in the barriers.
The tasks of the current finals were also mastered quite confidently. After a 2-1 victory against Scotland followed a 1-0 against Argentina. Only a poor chance of exploitation, the team must be accused in the match against the South Americans. Read on the close result, although not less than 19 shots were fired. In addition, Nikita Parris of Manchester City failed to convert a penalty against the 37th in the world rankings. Once again, however, the defense presented very stable. Little wonder, as they are well-placed with players like Lucy Bronze from current Champions League winner Olympique Lyon or captain Steph Houghton from Manchester City.
