World Cup Predictions Today: Japan vs. Tunisia

Japan Moneyline (-200)

Japan produced an impressive result in the opening round, earning a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands despite entering as underdogs. Tunisia, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing 5-1 defeat to Sweden and now finds itself needing points to stay alive in Group F.

Japan's organization, technical quality, and ability to transition quickly caused major problems for the Dutch defense. They were disciplined out of possession and clinical when opportunities arose, which bodes well against a Tunisia side that struggled defensively in its opener.

Tunisia conceded five goals to Sweden and often looked vulnerable when Sweden attacked with pace. Japan's quick passing and movement should create similar issues.

Japan Over 1.5 Goals (-132)

As we just covered, Japan scored twice against a stronger Netherlands side and should find this matchup more favorable. Tunisia's defensive structure broke down repeatedly against Sweden, and confidence may be an issue after such a heavy defeat, which led to Tunisia replacing its coach.

If Japan scores first, Tunisia will likely have to open up, something that could create additional opportunities for the Blue Samurai to add to their tally.
