Japan take on the visitors Spain in the round 3 match of group stage of FIFA World Cup 2022. The match will be played on Thursday, November 1st at Khalifa International Stadium (Doha).
The Spanish national team played two different matches at this World Cup. Against the national team of Costa Rica, the wards of Luis Enrique succeeded in everything. But much did not work against Germany. Both can be called invaluable experience. Now the Spaniards need a victory over Japan to guarantee the first place in the group. Team Japan is second in Group E with three points scored. However, the Japanese could be the first if, after a sensational victory over Germany, they also beat the underdog team of Costa Rica. In that meeting, the Costa Ricans fought back almost the entire match, but still, in the end, they found their chance and scored. Now Japan has no choice but to play to win against the Spaniards. The Japanese national team at the 2022 World Cup has a fairly well-coordinated team, good coaching, a clip of great players, many of whom play in the Bundesliga. With all this, the Japanese have only one victory in the last four matches, and two defeats at once.

Spain took 4 points in two opening matches of the 2022 World Cup. "Red Fury" didn't show a perfect football in the second match against Germany, but instead they tested their strength in the battle with the most motivated top team. Before that, there was a win over the Costa Rica national team with a score of 7:0, just with football ideal in every respect. For Spain, everything is simple. Luis Enrique's team does not even think about the scenarios in which it can go further with a draw, and even with a defeat. Spain will play against Japan from a position of strength and plan to finish the group stage with 7 points after three meetings.
In April 2001, the national teams of Spain and Japan played their only head-to-head match. It was a friendly meeting in which the "red fury" won with a score of 1:0. It was shortly before the 2022 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Spain is top favorite for the match against Japan. The victory of Luis Enrique's team is estimated at 1.46 against 7.90 for the success of the Japanese and 4.60 for a draw. Without a doubt, the Spanish team is obliged to finish the group stage of the World Cup with a victory over the Japanese team, and the first place in the group. Perhaps it is worth taking the victory of Luis Enrique's wards with a minus handicap.
Prediction for the match: Spain to win with -1.0 handicap.
