LiontipsNetherlands - Japan: betting tip (cf 2.00) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Netherlands did not have any special problems in qualifying for the World Cup. The Orange's rivals in the group were Finland, Poland, Malta and Lithuania. In eight matches, Ronald Koeman's team won six times and finished in first place. During the entire qualifying tournament, it was not possible to beat only the Poles, with whom they parted ways twice. In preparation for the 2026 World Cup, the Dutch held two sparring matches: they lost to Algeria (0:1) and beat Uzbekistan (2:1). The results are not impressive, but in each of these matches, the Orange had a total advantage, and the implementation failed. With the same Algerians, they scored six shots on target, but they could not score.
According to the composition, we note that the main goalkeeper Verbruggen may not play today due to a severe injury. Perhaps Bayer Leverkusen's goalkeeper will take his place in goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Timber and de Ligt are out of the application. Verbruggen's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches of the Netherlands national team, more than three offsides were not recorded.
- In three of the four previous Dutch matches, the first half ended in a draw.
Approximate line–up: Flecken – Dumfries, van Hecke, Van Dyck, van de Ven – Gravenberch, De Jong, Reynders - Sammwerville, Malen, Gakpo.
Current form
Japan has recently made significant progress, currently ranking 18th in the FIFA rankings. It should be noted that at the previous World Cup in Qatar, the Japanese came out of the group from first place, scoring victories over Spain and Germany. In qualifying in Asia, the national team booked a ticket to the World Cup without any problems. In preparation for the tournament, Hajime Moriyasu's team was remembered for their 1-0 victory over England during the previous training camp. In the last sparring match, we managed to beat Iceland with a minimum score of 1-0. It should be noted that at the moment the Japanese are on a winning streak of six matches, and they did not miss in five of them.
Captain Wataru Endo was injured during the training camp. This is a significant loss in the squad, as the defensive midfielder played a key role in the center of the field when using pressure. The reliability of the defense on the approaches to the penalty area largely rested on him and Tanaka.
Disqualifications and injuries
Endo is out of the game, Minamino and Mitoma are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the previous five matches, the Japanese national team did not concede a single goal.
- In none of the last five matches involving Japan, more than one goal was scored in the first half.
Approximate composition: Suzuki– Tomiyasu, Ito, Itakura – Doan, Sano, Tanaka, Nakamura– Kubo, Junya–Ueda.
Trends

The bet is an accurate score of 2:1
The Orange have scored two of their last three victories with this score.
Tip and bets
Japan has made significant progress in recent years, the squad is staffed with players from top European championships, and the Asian national team should definitely not be underestimated. Moreover, we have a series of six wins in a row in friendly matches, in five of them we won back to zero. At the same time, the national team lost its key defensive midfielder Endo due to injury, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to fully replace him. The powerful orange attack will have more opportunities to overcome the opponent's pressure.
Ronaldo Koeman's team, if you look at the results, did not have the best recent sparring sessions, lost to Algeria, and beat Uzbekistan with some problems. However, there were no questions about the game, except for the implementation of the moments, in these meetings there were no questions for the national team, you could see a total advantage, a lot of shots on target, scoring chances. We believe that due to their powerful attacking potential, the Dutch will start today with a victory at the World Cup.
Our betting tip is that the Netherlands will win by a factor of 2.00
Bet on the total
In the last five friendly matches, the Japanese have not conceded a single goal. The national team relies on pressure and has a reliable defensive game. At the same time, the orange team habitually, regardless of the opponent, rely on the attack, they are not afraid to miss. We expect that there will be an exchange of goals scored in the match. The bet on both goals was played in three of the four previous matches of the Dutch national team.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.76
Betting on corners
Ronald Koeman's team plays from a position of strength, spends a lot of time attacking at other people's gates. It is no coincidence that in the previous six matches, the Dutch won against their rivals on corners. It is unlikely that this trend will fail today, given that the Japanese are highly likely to play number two in their usual manner.
Prediction – Netherlands wins on corners with a coefficient of 1.55
