Japan v Spain World Cup Predictions

If Japan could recreate their Matchday 1 performance against Spain, the news would explode. However, after the massacre against Costa Rica, Spain are favored by over 70% for this match. Japan might not be the best team on paper but they’ve proved that reality is often different. But will they beat Spain? It’s not the best metaphor here but lighting doesn’t strike twice in the same spot, so no. Let’s get into our Japan v Spain predictions.

If someone said a few weeks ago that Japan could advance from this group, people would’ve called them crazy. But this has become a sizeable possibility by now. If Germany doesn’t win their remaining two games, the Japanese will advance. Check out our betting guide for the 2022 World Cup for more about this.

Could Japan score against Spain? Yes, it’s highly likely but Spain won’t score 7 goals again either. We’re still expecting La Furia Roja to win by at least two goals so an over 3.5-goal bet could come in handy. Spain proved in their match against Costa Rica that they can hurt you from anywhere. Spain should score at least 3 goals with Torres as their best option.
