Betting on Japan (+300 at Caliente)
Futoshi Ikeda’s team has already secured their spot in the round of 16 after defeating Zambia (5-0) and Costa Rica (2-0). They will now face one of the powerhouses in women’s football, La Roja, who defeated them 1-0 in a friendly match on November 15 of this same year.
They have an average of 24.5 shots on goal so far in this World Cup, with 23 saves from their opponents’ goalkeepers. Additionally, they have won five out of their last six games, and in four of those games, they didn’t concede any goals. The only time their opponent scored was on April 7 in a 2-1 victory against Portugal.
However, the sheer size of their opponents makes it difficult for this to happen again. Asian teams have struggled to make an impact when facing bigger competitors, with four defeats at the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 against Brazil, United States, England, and Spain. What’s most surprising is that all of these losses were by a score of 0-1.
Probable Lineup (5-4-1):Ayaka Yamashita; Risa Shimizu, Moeka Minami, Saki Kumagai, Shiori Miyake, Hina Sugita; Aoba Fujino, Yui Hasegawa, Honoka Hayashi, Hikaru Naomoto; Mina Tanaka.

Betting on Spain (-112 at Caliente)
Jorge Vilda’s team is already among the top 16 in the tournament, and with a draw in this game, they will secure the first place in their group thanks to goal difference, with eight goals in favor and zero against.
After a 5-0 victory against Zambia, Spain achieved their eighth consecutive celebration, and their thirteenth win in their last 15 matches. They haven’t lost since February 19th against Australia (2-3), and they haven’t drawn since October 7th, 2022, when they tied with Sweden (1-1). This speaks volumes about their winning machine.
La Roja arrives at this Women’s World Cup after qualifying with a perfect score, without conceding any goals, and scoring a whopping 53 goals. Their preparation matches stand out, with victories against Denmark and the United States, both by 2-0.
The most outstanding fact is that the European team has gone six games without conceding goals. We have to go back to April 6th to find the most recent match in which their opponents managed to score (4-2 against Norway).
Probable Lineup (4-3-3):María Isabel Rodríguez; Ona Batlle, Irene Paredes, Ivana Andrés, Olga Carmona; Teresa Abelleira, Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas; Salma Paralluelo, Jennifer Hermoso, Mariona Caldentey.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Japan vs Spain
They have faced each other three times throughout history, and Japan has yet to secure a win, with two draws and one defeat. Two of these matches had less than three goals, and at JefeBet, we predict that this will happen again at the Sky Stadium.
At Caliente, the Under (2.5) has a line of (-154) and, if you opt for it, you can win up to $65 for every $100 wagered.
