Predict Japan vs Canada: Samurai Power
Canada is preparing ahead of the 2022 World Cup in a way that couldn't be worse. After the victory over Qatar in the state that the opponent was not ready, the North American representative had 2 games without winning, losing 0-2 to Uruguay and drawing 2-2 against Bahrain.
With not much experience in big playgrounds, surely the Ottawa team proved to be quite pressured. So the fuzzy results are quite understandable. Even in this match when they encounter Japan, they can only evaluate the bottom door by the house.
The house edge of this match rates a moderate handicap of 1/4 for Blue Samurai. This is a reasonable state to expect at the top, because they are showing quite positive performance with the last 5 unbeaten matches (won 3 draws 2).
Calculated in the last 13 matches to open Asian rafters, teachers and coaches Moriyasu brought 9 wins and 4 losses, a fairly high rate. In the opposite direction, Canada lost 3/4 of the nearest Asian rafters. Especially in the past confrontation, they once lost to Japan with a score of 1-2 in 2013.
