World Cup Predictions Today: Japan vs Sweden

Best Bet: Alexander Isak to Score or Assist (+140)

After an injury-plagued and underwhelming first campaign at Liverpool, Isak has looked back to his best through two World Cup matches, notching a goal and three assists. He's been his usual threat in the box but has also been dropping deeper and creating more than usual, forming a nice partnership with Viktor Gyökeres.

On three points, Sweden can qualify automatically with a win versus Japan and would likely be in good shape with a draw. In short, they have a lot to play for, and both of these sides have played an open style thus far, with there being 12 combined goals in Sweden's two matches and eight in Japan's.

Sweden will likely continue to create chances like they have all tourney, and I like Isak to record either a goal or assist.

Unlike traditional moneyline betting in American sports, soccer uses three-way odds. You're betting on one of three outcomes: Home Team win, Away Team Win or a Draw.
