Japan vs Sweden Prediction & Tips
Japan sit second in the group on four points, level with leaders Netherlands and separated only by goal difference. Hajime Moriyasu’s side have been one of the standout teams of the group stage, drawing 2-2 with the Netherlands before thrashing Tunisia 4-0, with Ayase Ueda scoring twice in that win. Their defense has also been solid, conceding just twice across their first two matches.
Sweden, meanwhile, sit third on three points after a rollercoaster group stage. Graham Potter’s side put five past Tunisia but then suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to the Netherlands, exposing real defensive vulnerabilities. Despite that setback, Sweden possess significant attacking quality through Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak, giving them a genuine route back into the contest if they can find space against Japan’s well-organized defense.
