Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be the occurrence of some goals. The difference between the two sides is visible, with Croatia on one side, a team with good players, and Japan on the other, a team that has some weaknesses in their game model. However, the Japanese national team has already shown that they like to surprise when they enter the field without favoritism. Having said that and taking into account these factors, risking in favor of the ''Over 2 Goals'' market in this game is a good option.

Preview
Japan and Croatia meet at Suheim Bin Hamad Stadium, in a match for this stage of the World Cup (8th Finals). There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 18‑06‑2006, the match ended with the final score: Japan (0‑0) Croatia.

Analysis Japan

Japan has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times, but have turned the score around in 2.

The Japanese national team comes for this round motivated after a great triumph, by 2-1, against Spain: the team's goals were scored by Ritsu Doan and Ao Tanaka. It should be noted that Japan reaches this stage of the 2022 World Cup after finishing in 1st place in Group E, with 6 points added. The Japanese national team usually plays in a 3-4-3, favoring a more defensive style of play, attacking through the side aisles. In this tactical formation, the three most advanced players will be Daizen Maeda, Daichi Kamada and Takefusa Kubo. Japan is a team that likes to play in their midfield, with the aim of trying to surprise their opponents through the counterattack. Out of this game is Ko Itakura due to suspension.

Confirmed Lineup: Shuichi Gonda, Shogo Taniguchi, Maya Yoshida, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Yuto Nagatomo, Daichi Kamada, Wataru Endo, Hidemasa Morita, Ritsu Doan, Daizen Maeda, Junya Ito.

The Croatian national team comes for this match with a goalless draw against Belgium. It should be noted that Croatia reaches this stage of the 2022 World Cup after finishing in 2nd place in Group F with 5 points added.
