Japan vs Spain Preview & Prediction

Unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 games, Spain are looking strong to qualify for the knockout phase as they prepare to meet Japan on Thursday.

Spain began their World Cup title quest with a thumping 7-0 victory over Costa Rica before being held to a 1-1 draw with Germany.

A draw in this game would likely be enough to see Spain through to the R16 – although they will want to take all three points to bring winning momentum into sudden-death football.

Meanwhile, Japan have missed out on a golden opportunity to emerge from the ‘Group of Death’.

The Blue Samurai produced one of the upsets of the tournament when they beat Germany 2-1 in their competition opener.

A victory over Costa Rica would have ensured Japan’s progression to the knockout stages, but they slipped up in a 1-0 defeat.

As a result, Japan will be eliminated if they lose to Spain, while a draw would see things come down to goal difference.

VERDICT:

Japan had a huge chance to make the R16, but you get the feeling they’ve run their race after falling to defeat against Costa Rica.

Spain are one of the form nations in Qatar and have rarely tasted defeat in 2022, losing just once. Backing Spain to get the job done and secure top spot (Best Spain win to nil odds $2.20 with bet365.)
