LiontipsBrazil - Japan: betting tip (cf 2.16) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Brazil confirmed the status of the favorite and took first place in Group C. However, it was not possible to score the maximum nine points, as a 1-1 draw with Morocco was recorded at the start of the championship. In the next two meetings against Haiti and Scotland, Carlo Ancelotti's team fully demonstrated its powerful attacking potential, scoring two wins with the same score of 3:0. As a result, Morocco managed to beat Morocco by the difference between goals scored and conceded. Besides Vinicius, it is impossible not to mention the excellent game of 19-year-old Ryan. He replaced the injured Rafinha, constantly threatens the opponents' goal in every match, and scored an accurate pass with the Scots. Plus, Neymar is back in action. He is not ready to play the whole match, but he is able to contribute to the attack.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rafinha will not play due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, Brazil's players have hit more shots on target than their opponents.
- In two of the three matches at the World Cup, the Brazilians scored three goals each.
Approximate composition: Alisson – Danilo, Gabriel, Marquinhos, D. Santos – B. Guimaraes, Casemiro – Ryan, Paqueta, Vinicius – Cunha.
Current form
Japan won the competition for second place from Sweden in Group C, finishing one point above the Scandinavians. At the start of the tournament, the Japanese sensationally took points from the Netherlands (2:2), after which they easily beat Tunisia with a score of 4:0. In the key final meeting with the Swedes, a 1-1 draw was recorded, which completely satisfied the wards of Hajime Moriyasu. The Japanese national team plays with an obvious focus on defense, often moving too close to their own goal. At the same time, the team is dangerous on the counterattack, as the Dutch have fully seen. Note on the left flank of Reims player Keito Nakamura, who has excellent speed and already scored a goal and scored an assist at the World Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kubo and Itakura's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last four matches of the Japanese national team, a draw with an exact score of 0:0 was recorded at the end of the first half.
- In five of the previous six matches, Japan has not lost by fouls.
Approximate composition: Suzuki – Shoko, Watanabe, H. Ito–Sugawara, Kamada, Tanaka, Nakamura–Doan, Maeda–Ueda.

Tip and bets
In the group stage, the Brazilians increased their attack from match to match, scored three goals against Haiti and Scotland, and constantly created a large number of dangerous chances. Vinicius is in great shape right now, Neymar has already returned, and 19-year-old Ryan is proving himself great instead of Rafinha. It is difficult for any opponent to contain such a powerful attack. The main thing is that Carlo Ancelotti has found an approach to his star players and we see a team, not individual players. Without teamwork, the national team would hardly have won so confidently.
Japan will habitually rely on defense, but, as the match against the Netherlands showed, there are enough problems here, primarily due to the fact that the players retreat too deeply to their goal. We believe that due to a great attacking game, the Brazilians will achieve a confident victory. Plus, they have experience on their side, especially since the Japanese have never won a single round in the playoffs at the World Championships in their history.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Brazil by a factor of 2.16
Bet on the total
Brazil's attack is noticeably increasing during the tournament, with three goals each scored against Haiti and Scotland. The Japanese are dangerous on the counterattack and are quite capable of responding, they scored two goals against the Netherlands. We expect that at least three goals will be scored in the upcoming game.
The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.03
A bet on yellow cards
The Japanese national team is not known for being rude when playing defense, and in three of the last four matches, players received fewer yellow cards than their opponents. Brazil, on the contrary, has three wins in the previous four LCD matches. Taking into account the set coefficients, we recommend another bet.
Prediction – Brazil will not lose on yellow cards with a coefficient of 1.65
