Japan vs Spain Prediction & Betting tips
Thursday evening from 19:00, in the 3rd round of the groups of the World Football Championship in Qatar 2022, Japan will play against Spain, in a match in group E. The two national teams are in the first two places in the group, Spain having four points while Japan has three. Only once have Japan and Spain faced each other, in a friendly match in 2001 won by Spain with 1-0.
Japan:
Japan achieved a surprising victory in the first match of the group, winning 2-1 against Germany and it seemed that it is a big favorite to qualify for the round of 16. In the 2nd round of the groups, however, Japan played a very weak match, being defeated by Costa Rica 1-0, after a goal conceded in the 81st minute, and because of this result, the chances of qualification decreased a lot. To be sure of qualification, Japan needs a win, but even with a draw they could qualify, but they need a draw in the Costa Rica – Germany match.
Spain:
On the other hand, Spain still holds the record for the clearest victory in this final tournament, after winning 7-0 in the debut match against Costa Rica. Spain had secured qualification in the match against Germany as well, managing to open the scoring in the 62nd minute through Morata, but conceded a goal in the 83rd minute and gave Germany an unexpected chance to qualify for the round of 16. Spain qualifies for sure with a win, but even with a draw, they are sure of their presence in the round of 16.
