Japan vs England prediction
England were expected to dominate in the classification round when considering their pedigree compared to other nations who also didn’t make it to the second round of this World Cup. They comfortably dispatched of Japan in their first Pool G game, winning it 4-1 despite falling behind early on.
Japan have tasted victory once in this competition but England are a better team across the board and that should be reflected over the course of this game with attacking weapons that England possess. Therefore, back them to emerge victorious.
