Germany vs Japan Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the International Friendlies on Saturday, 9 September 2023.
Japan had a wonderful World Cup season last time. They defeated Spain and Germany in the group stage and made it to the round of 16, where they lost to Croatia.
The team will face Germany yet again in friendly match this Saturday. The Germans are not having a pleasant form at the moment as they follows a streak of four consecutive friendly defeats.
They have met just thrice I the past. Both have won, drew and lost one apiece of those three matches.
Their latest meeting was in the WC 2022 which ended in a 1-2 win for Japan.
Germany is not having a decent form at home of late. They were winless in five of the last six home outings across all competitions. A defeat against Japan can also be seen but it was played in a neutral venue.
Meanwhile, Japan is having a stunning form on the road of late. They won their last four away matches in a row. Except for the Germany match, the teams they faced were Australia, Oman and Vietnam.
Going on, the home advantage of Germany should be considered here. All the above mentioned observations makes it a tough pick for us here. Therefore, we are not going to back one to win for this match.
The head to head clashes between these two were high-scoring. On top of that the recent home matches of Germany were high-scoring. Therefore, we don’t expect this match to have goals under 2.5 ft.
Both teams have been consistent in scoring at respective patches. Germany have scored a total of 8 goals in the past five home matches while Japan netted in 6 in the past four away matches. Thus, goals are likely to land from both ends.
The current form of Germany doesn’t look that impressive but we are not going to rule out their chances completely. The case of Japan is also the same as they have a stunning away form and we have to consider their chances too.
We therefore like to back the over 2.5 goals at 1.67 odds as the main tip and both teams to score option at 1.80 as the second tip instead of picking up a winner here.
