THE PREDICTION
The Japanese national team have something of a ‘golden generation’ but they significantly performed at the 2024 AFC Asian Cup as they struggled through the group stages and were then eventually knocked out by Iran in the quarter-finals. They now face a North Korean side that began their AFC qualifying campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 loss to Syria before thrashing Myanmar by six goals to one. Despite their recent underperformance, a comfortable Japanese victory is to be expected for this one, especially with their home advantage.
TIP: JAPAN TO WIN -1 HANDICAP
