Tunisia vs Japan

Tunisia – Japan Prediction

Tunisia and Japan meet at Estadio BBVA from opposite ends of the early-tournament spectrum, and the gap looks considerable. Tunisia were dismantled on the opening day and arrive low on confidence, while Japan produced one of the more impressive first-round results and look organised and assured.

Tunisia's alarming shortage of goals

Tunisia's form makes grim reading. A 1-5 loss to Sweden followed a 0-5 hammering by Belgium and a 0-1 defeat to Austria, leaving them averaging just 0.4 goals scored while conceding 2.2. Two goals in five matches tells of an attack that has been almost non-existent against quality.

Japan's sharp, well-drilled game

Japan look in excellent shape. A 2-2 draw with the Netherlands sits atop clean wins over Iceland, England and Scotland, with the attack averaging 2.2 goals and the defence a miserly 0.4. They press intelligently and rarely give opponents an easy route to goal.

The probable shape

With Tunisia so toothless and Japan so well-organised, the Tunisia versus Japan prediction favours the Asian side controlling proceedings while the hosts again struggle to make any meaningful impression in the final third. Japan's clean sheets against England and Scotland point to a side that defends as diligently as it attacks, a combination Tunisia have had no answer to in a campaign that has already brought heavy five-goal defeats.
