Match prediction: japan to win
This group f encounter carries enormous weight. Before kickoff, the netherlands lead with 4 points, japan also have 4 but trail on goal difference, while sweden sit third with 3 points. A win for japan would seal their place in the round of 16, whereas sweden must get a positive result to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Japan have impressed so far in the 2026 world cup. They held the netherlands to a 2-2 draw, showing real resilience against a strong opponent, and then thrashed Tunisia 4-0 to confirm their attacking potency and defensive solidity. After two matches, the blue samurai have scored 6 goals and conceded only 2, underlining a fine balance between control, pressing and transitions.
Given the pressure and recent form, japan are fancied to overcome sweden and book their ticket to the knockout stage.
