England vs Japan prediction

Thomas Tuchel has welcomed back several key players for this friendly after the English stuttered to a 1-1 draw with Uruguay in what was more or less a non-event of a football match until very late on.

Japan have been strong for a while now and they were unfortunate to only dispatch of Scotland by a goal to nil at Hampden Park the other day as they seek to go deep into the tournament in North America.

Japan are a strong team and will pose England problems. The hosts will not be at full strength. Both teams scoring is a good shout but it may also be worth having a bet on the visitors, too.

England vs Japan tip: Double chance - Japan to win or draw & both teams to score
