Japan vs Spain World Cup Prediction and Betting Picks
Japan and Spain have had much different paths, but they are both currently needing the third game of the group stage to qualify for the knockout rounds. Spain has a huge advantage with a goal differential at least seven goals above the next closest team, with only three points separating the entire group though, they can’t afford to simply play for a draw.
With Germany likely beating Costa Rica, Japan likely needs a draw at the least to qualify for the next round. Japan will come out firing while Spain will likely continue to try to set the tempo and control possession in their midfield. This game could see fireworks, but it’s more likely to end in a low-scoring draw or a one-goal win. Bet on the under to hit.
Our Japan vs Spain World Cup prediction tonight will be UNDER 2.5 at BetOnline.
