Tunisia
DWDLLL 📉
Tunisia won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 5-1 WC loss in their previous game against Sweden.
In that game, Tunisia had 51% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Tunisia was Omar Rekik (43'). For their opponents, Sweden got 13 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. Yasin Ayari (7', 96'), Alexander Isak (30'), Viktor Gyökeres (59') and Mattias Svanberg (84') scored for Sweden.
Tunisia have really been misfiring in more recent games. Their goals record stands at just 3 vs opposing sides during the course of their previous 6 matches. In those games, Tunisia have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them come to 12. It will be interesting to find out if that trend will be sustained in this game.
Japan
WWWWWD 📈
In their last game, Japan drew 2-2 in the WC tie with Netherlands.
In that match, Japan managed 40% possession and 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. For Japan, goals were scored by Keito Nakamura (57') and Daichi Kamada (88'). For their opponents, Netherlands got 10 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Virgil van Dijk (50') and Crysencio Summerville (64') scored for Netherlands.
In their last half-dozen clashes, Japan have bagged the sum of 10 goals. Japan have also not failed to score on each one of those occasions. In that time, they have had 2 goals go against them.
🧠
Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Tunisia might well have a job on their hands to breach the defence of this Japan team who will likely score at least once to put them ahead.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a highly competitive game with a 0-1 win for Japan when the referee blows for full-time.
Let’s see how this one goes.
