Japan vs Spain Prediction & Tips
Japan missed a great chance to secure a place in the round of 16 with a 1-0 defeat against Costa Rica. Coach Moriyasu made a number of surprising changes to the team that beat Germany a few days earlier, which threw both opponents and Japanese fans off the scent. Costa Rica’s goal could have been avoided, but Gonda played with soft hands.
A bad game for Japan, which now needs a win or a draw and a draw between the Germans and Costa Ricans.
Spain drew with Germany this Sunday to 1, in a very good match typical of a World Cup. The match did not have a clear dominator, and the reading is that of 2 teams that respected each other a lot and sought to take control of the ball, and in the absence of it, the chances came with counterattacks and quick transitions. Morata scored the Spanish goal, and is already emerging as the player of the national team with the best chance of finishing as Pichichi.
The first matchday 1 victory over Costa Rica gives us a margin, and Spain’s presence in the round of 16 is 99% guaranteed. Spain will be there if they win or draw, and if they lose, they will only be out if Costa Rica beats Germany or if the German team scandalously beats the Ticos.
