Switzerland vs Japan Today’s Soccer Prediction
Switzerland – Japan / Friendly Match – For the Swiss the second and final test before the World Cup and the duel against Brazil, while also for Japan this is the second test. They will play against Paraguay, however, before they play Colombia at the start of the World Cup, which is perhaps the decisive duel in the group. The Swiss picked up after the win and draw in the relegation with Northern Ireland, two wins and a draw in friendlies, while the Japanese are struggling with big problems regarding the game form. Japan thus have a series of four winless duels in which they have recently
Switzerland
The Swiss are in a very good mood before the last test before the World Cup, as they have retraced a 1-1 away away from Spain in the friendly a few days ago. The Spaniards are really good, so this result is encouraging. But not only that, as the Swiss have lost five defeats after the defeat of Portugal in the last qualifying round of the World Cup. It is important to mention that the defeat of Portugal was at the same time their only defeat in this cycle.
In the relegation they recorded a win and a draw with Northern Ireland, after which they narrowly defeated Greece and outclassed Panama 6-0. The duel against Spain was actually a preparation for the initial and most difficult duel in the World Cup group stage, which they will drop already in the first round against Brazil. They passed this test, although midfielder G. Xhaka was missing due to injury. Now there may be some changes in the lineup to add some other players.
Expected lineup Switzerland: Burki – Lang, Elvedi, Djourou, Moubandje – G. Fernandez, Behrami – Shaqiri, Freuler, Embolo – Gavranovic
Japan
On the other hand, the Japanese are very worried about the beginning of the World Cup, and they are justified because they simply can not win. Nervousness is on the rise, and soon they are playing in Russia, where the first duel might be decisive as they play Colombia. Colombia is one of the two favorites, in addition to the Polish national team. The third opponent is Senegal and in preparation for this duel they have chosen the duel against Ghana. However, they were defeated 0: 2 in this duel. This was the fourth consecutive duel in which they did not win, which is now the final stage of preparation and they have no time left to work on their many weaknesses.
Obviously, the fact that national coach Halilhodzic was fired did not do any good, as his successor Nishino did not find a profitable lineup. His debut against the African national team, which has not achieved the placement in the World Cup, was definitely unsuccessful. It is good that striker Okazaki has recovered and has accumulated in the second half, while Inui, who was also struggling with problems, stayed on the bench. They tried to run aground in a three-player formation in the defensive line, which turned out to be bad, so we’re expecting new changes now.
Expected lineup Japan: Nakamura – H. Sakai, Yoshida, Hasebe, Nagatomo – Yamaguchi, Shibasaki – Honda, Kagawa, Haraguchi – Okazaki
