FIFA World Cup 2022, Spain vs Japan - Match predictions, preview, head-to-head
Spain and Japan are ready to battle it out for the final two spots from Group E in FIFA World Cup 2022 when they take on each other on Thursday night at the Khalifa International Stadium. Both Spain and Japan are ranked 1 and 2, respectively, on the points table so far, and their qualification for the next round is yet to determine. Spain started their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign with a 7-0 win over Costa Rica while their match against former winners Germany ended in a 1-1 draw. For them to qualify without looking at others’ results, the 2010 winners must beat Japan.
Japan on the other hand stunned Germany in their opener, beating them 2-1. However, tables turned around quickly when Japan werebeaten by Costa Rica in their following match. This loss further made their road to the knockouts a bit dicey.
Here in this piece, let’s have a look at what is in store for us
