Group E of the Qatar 2022 World Cup is ready for definition and Japan and Spain are playing to stay alive in a group that has had several surprises.
Japan, which seemed to have a clear path, got complicated and now practically only victory serves them.
Spain, for its part, has been playing well with its team full of young people and a tie serves them to get into the round of 16.

Por que apostar no Japão
Japan seemed to have done the most difficult thing of all, which was to overcome Germany and beat them in the first game (2-1). However, then they fell 1-0 to Costa Rica, who had just lost 7-0 to Spain, and who only shoot 1 time on goal. That was a hard blow for the Asians who were able to qualify safely and now they will have to beat the group leader.
The Japanese team wasted many chances against the Costa Ricans, turning Keylor Navas into a figure, while their goalkeeper, Shuichi Gonda, was widely criticized for the goal scored by Keysher Fuller since it is believed that he was able to block the shot.
Now the Japanese have to beat Spain or if they tie they must hope that in the game between Costa Rica and Germany there will also be equality. If they lose, they will go home.
Por que apostar na Espanha
Spain was postulated as a firm candidate for the title after the first game where they crushed Costa Rica 7-0. In the second game, against Germany, they drew 1-1 and missed the chance of qualifying for the round of 16, as the German goal came after 83 minutes.
Luis Enrique’s team played a good game again versus the other Europeans, although not as effective as the first. As always, possession of the ball was their thing and they had it at 64%, although they could only take 3 shots on goal and 7 in total.
Sergio Busquets has to take care of himself in this game because if he receives a yellow card he won’t be able to play in the round of 16 if they qualify. Precisely to achieve this, a draw is enough for them, while victory ensures first place. Likewise, if they lose they could qualify if there is no winner in the other game or if Germany does not win by a difference of 7 goals.
Final Betting Analysis: Japan vs. Spain
Group E plays its last cards and only one of the two teams may pass. Spain is the one with the best chances, not only because the draw helps them, but because they are playing better football than Japan and we believe they will control the game and win.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Spain is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -253, while Japan has +764 and the draw is +378.
These teams have only met 1 time in their history. It was a friendly match in Córdoba, Spain, on April 25, 2001, where the locals won 1-0 with a goal by Rubén Baraja at minute 89.
Go for a straight win for Spain in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at -253, you will gain $40 for a total payout of $140.
