Japan vs Italy prediction
We’ve seen the Italian defence at their best so far across this World Cup and they’ll need to be strong again to keep Japan at bay. Both of their group games played have seen Japan find the net twice and an ultra-attacking playstyle is expected here with the carrot of finishing top of the group on offer.
Matches involving either of these two teams have been entertaining for the large part. Of the four games in question, three have seen both teams score as well as over 2.5 goals in all of them. Backing both outcomes to occur when the two nations collide is a move that warrants serious consideration.
Japan vs Italy tip: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score
