THE PREDICTION
These two have two of the more exciting younger generations of footballers coming through their ranks. Japan defeated both Germany and Spain at the 2022 FIFA World Cup before taking the lead against Croatia in the Round of 16 and then losing on penalties to the eventual semi-finalists. Hajime Moriyasu’s side face a Uruguay side that were knocked out of the tournament at the group stages. The visitors have interim coach Marcelo Broli in charge and they have moved on from some key players such as Fernando Muslera, Diego Godin, Martin Caceres, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani. The likes of Rodrigo Bentancur and Ronald Araujo are out injured whilst Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Darwin Nunez, Lucas Torreira and Jose Maria Gimenez have also been left out. Given that, Japan are the favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage.
