England vs Japan Preview and Team News
England Team News
England come into this fixture in excellent form. They’re unbeaten in their last five games, with four wins and one draw. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw with Uruguay in a friendly. The Three Lions have already qualified for the FIFA World Cup and will treat these matches as preparation.
Against Uruguay, Thomas Tuchel’s men had 54% of the ball, which translated into a solid 13 shots, including five on target. Their 89% passing accuracy also offered a glimpse of what fans can expect moving forward.
As for absentees, Dean Henderson is dealing with an illness and won’t be available for the meeting with Japan.
England predicted lineup vs Japan (4-2-3-1): Trafford; Spence, Maguire, Tomori, Livramento; J. Henderson, Garner; Rashford, Palmer, Gordon; Kane.
Japan Team News
Japan, like their opponents, are unbeaten in their last five outings. This sets up what could be a closely contested matchup. The Samurai Blue recently beat Scotland 1-0 in a friendly, with a wide 3-4-2-1 formation proving effective.
Their use of width played a key role, and they’ll likely look to exploit England’s weaknesses on the flanks. Defensive midfielder Joel Chima Fujita delivered a strong performance against Scotland, completing 91% of his passes.
Tomoya Ando is the only player unavailable, as he continues to recover from a muscle injury.
Japan predicted lineup vs England (3-4-2-1): Z. Suzuki; Ito, Watanabe, Seko; Maeda, Tanaka, Fujita, Sugawara; Sano, Y. Suzuki; Goto.
England vs Japan Prediction
- Pick: England to win
- Odds: -189 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: England 3-1 Japan
Playing at home, England hold an advantage. The excellent run of form Tuchel’s men are on also gives them an edge, as they’re unbeaten in their last five matches. They’ve also not conceded more than one goal in any of their last three home games.
Japan, on the other hand, could struggle to cope with England’s possession-based tactics, particularly in midfield. The Samurai Blue are ranked 19th by FIFA, whereas the hosts sit fourth, highlighting the gap between the sides.
England vs Japan Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2 goals
- Odds: -313 (20Bet)
At least three goals are expected in this matchup. England should be on the front foot, given the world-class attacking talent in their ranks – Harry Kane, Anthony Gordon, and Cole Palmer, who have combined for 81 goals for their respective clubs this season, to name a few.
Japan will need to work hard on their defence, particularly on set pieces. Kane, who has already scored 51 goals for his club this season, will be the primary threat for the Three Lions inside the box.
