JPN vs CAN DREAM11 PREDICTION

Since losing to Tunisia 3-0 in the Kirin Cup final, Hajime Moriyasu’s team has been a lot better on defence. They have kept five straight clean sheets.

Even though not many people think they will make it out of the group stage in Qatar, this team shouldn’t be taken lightly. In June, when they lost 1-0 to World Cup favourites Brazil, it was one of only two games they lost all year.

Recently, their defence has been very good, but this team is full of creative midfielders who do well both for their clubs and for the national team.

Canada will be only the third CONCACAF country they’ve played since 2020. The Samurai Blue lost 2-0 to Mexico almost two years ago, and earlier this year, they beat a strong USA team by the same score and didn’t let them get a shot on goal.

Even though Canada hasn’t won in their last two games, they have had their chances. They tied Bahrain 2-2 last Friday and had more possession than Uruguay in September, but still lost 2-0.

Canada has only lost one of their four games against Asian teams since 2016. Their last win came in September, when they beat Qatar 2-0.
