Tunisia have shown themselves as the weakest team in this World Cup so far after their terrible start, and now the pressure is mounting heavily on the squad to avoid total embarrassment in the remaining games.
Team Form
That five goal thrashing from Sweden led to the coach getting sacked immediately, which shows just how bad things have become for the African side as they prepare to face even tougher tests ahead.
- Japan remain unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions
- Six wins recorded during this impressive run with plenty of character shown
- Tunisia now lack motivation after the early exit of their coach
Tactical Analysis
Japan saved a point late against the Netherlands with a goal in the 89th minute and they have the quality to dominate proceedings here with their attacking style and solid defense that rarely concedes. The historical record also favors the Asians heavily as they have won five of the six previous meetings including a 2-0 victory not long ago with no goals exchanged in most of those clashes.
The Japanese side look ready to grab their first win of the tournament while Tunisia’s decision to sack the coach has only made their problems worse as the players appear deflated and unable to compete at this level against motivated opponents.
Betting Proposal
After considering all the factors from form to head to head records, the smart move is to back the visitors for a comfortable victory. Japan to win away with a handicap of -1 at odds of 1.90 offers great value as they should cover the margin without much stress. This tip aligns well with how the teams have been performing lately and gives punters a solid option for the match.
