LiontipsJapan - New Zealand: betting tip (cf 1.72) and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
The national team had a good world Championship in North America. The team did not suffer a single defeat in the group stage, but lost 1-2 in the match of the 1/16 finals with Brazil and left the tournament. After the World Cup, Japan played three matches, in which they won 3-1 against Uruguay, 2-1 against Venezuela and were stronger than Ecuador in a penalty shootout. Now we have to fight with a strong New Zealand, which showed a good game at the 2026 World Cup.
New Zealand failed to get out of the group at the World Championship, where it took the last place. The team scored only one point, drawing a 2-2 draw with Iran. In the remaining games, White lost heavily to Belgium (1:5) and Egypt (1:3). After the World Cup, Darren Bazeley's team had two friendly matches, in which they could not cope with Palestine 2-2 and defeated the Chinese national team 3-0.

Tip and bets
Japan is approaching the final meeting of the Kirin Cup as the favorite. After losing to Brazil, Hajime Moriyasu's team did not lose again and managed to win two games in three confrontations and ended one game in a draw. Note that both wins were by a two-goal margin, and New Zealand is inferior to its opponent in class and experience. Samurai constantly press and punish opponents for mistakes in the center of the field. We believe that Japan will win by a few goals.
