This group is still fairly open but with Spain very likely to go through they might rotate the team here. They only go out if they lost and Costa Rica win or Germany win and score a lot of goals. Japan go through with a win after getting stunned late by Costa Rica. Germany need win and Japan to lose to get through which makes these games even more interesting.
Japan should really be through already afrer dominating Costa Rica but didn’t take their chances and conceded a late goal. The win against Germany showed how good they can be in attack but will have to be very good no matter what side Spain put out.
I expect Spain to make changes for this game but I don’t think that will have big effect on the result as they will play the same possession based football we are used to. Japan will need to be clinical to win this and I just think Spain will have too much for them and won’t be as open as Germany were.
- Japan have just 1 win in their last 4.
- Japan's gaves have averaged 2 goals per game.
- Was booked in the last game vs Costa Rica.
