Japan v Spain Prediction – Preview
Japan
Japan are currently seated second in Group E with three points. After a surprise 2-1 win over Germany in the opener, The Samurai Blue themselves were humbled by Costa Rica, 1-0, in their second game. The Japanese attack was unable to penetrate Los Ticos’ strong defence. With nine minutes to go, a mistake by the Samurai was then picked up Yeltsin Tejada, who then set up Keysher Fuller for the finish. Japan manager Hajime Moriyasu, who was criticized for changing the starting lineup from the Germany match, defended his decision. But this may yet be another risky move against table leaders Spain, whom against they need an impressive performance to move on to the knockout rounds.
Spain
Spain stay perched atop Group E with four points. This, after an underwhelming follow-up to their 7-0 rout of Costa Rica with a last minute draw with Germany, 1-1. La Roja looked like they were headed to another win when in the 62nd minute, Jordi Alba crossed to Alvaro Morata in the box, who then finished to earn his first World Cup goal. However, substitute Niclas Fullkrug levelled with 7 minutes to play after he received the ball from Jamal Musiala and fired home. Spain manager Luis Enrique was frustrated with the draw, admitting his side lacked the freshness they had in the opener. He then stated that their objective now was winning against Japan, who themselves have struggled.
