Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Brazil -1 goal handicap – 1.53
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Brazil to score in both halves yes – 2.06
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Over 2.5 goals – 1.63
Brazil -1 Goal Handicap
In six of their last ten matches, Brazil won by one or more goals margin. Moreover, the last four meetings between Brazil and Japan ended in favor of Brazil by two or more goals.
Brazil to Score in Both Halves
In their last three South American World Cup qualifying games, Brazil scored in both halves. Also, the same trend happened in the three of the last four h2h meetings.
Over 2.5 Goals
Japan’s last five matches saw two or more goals. Brazil’s last four games meanwhile also saw four or more goals and their average number of goals scored in their last ten matches is 2.6.
After a bumpy start to the final phase of the World Cup qualifying campaign, Japan qualified for Qatar 2022 after finishing second in their group. In fact, the Blue Samurais lost two of their first three matches but went on to win six of their next seven games.
Japan suffered playing against Brazil in recent years losing the last four meetings by two or more goals. However, the Blue Samurais did manage to draw twice with Brazil in 2001 and 2005 in the FIFA Confederation Cup.
Certainly, Brazil are in top form in recent years as they are unbeaten in the South American World Cup qualifiers in 17 matches. They still have to play Argentina in a match that was postponed and against whom the Selecao suffered their only defeat in 27 fixtures in all competitions.
The five-time World Champions will travel to Qatar as one of the favorites to win the trophy. On Thursday, Brazil played another Asian team South Korea and beat them 5-1. Obviously, coach Tite is taking things easy after a long season for his players, and playing two Asian times despite not facing them in the World Cup means this is a rather training camp for the Selecao.
Brazil were in training mode against South Korea as they had 60% of ball possession and 25 goal attempts. With so many stars in their team, we expect the Selecao to dominate this game and will back Brazil with a -1 goal handicap.
