Sweden broke Tunisia, but then lost 1-5 to Netherlands, revealing problems in defending space behind the midfield.

Typ BTTS: yes. Japan has four points after drawing with Netherlands and winning 4-0 over Tunisia. Sweden broke Tunisia, but then lost 1-5 to Netherlands, revealing problems in defending space behind the midfield. Japan is the slight favorite thanks to better organization, but the Swedish strikers maintain a high level of risk. Both teams have clear offensive advantages, with Sweden having to look for a result rather than just protecting a draw. The goal model gives 53% on BTTS Yes and 47% on BTTS No, with expected goals of 1.45 for Japan and 1.20 for Sweden.

Typ: Under 2.5. Japan has four points after a draw with Netherlands and a 4-0 win over Tunisia. Sweden broke Tunisia, but then lost 1-5 to Netherlands, revealing problems in defending space behind the midfield. Japan is the slight favorite thanks to better organization, but the Swedish strikers maintain a high level of risk. The model gives 49% on Over 2.5 and 51% on Under 2.5, with xG Japan 1.45, Sweden 1.20 and 2.65 in total. On line 2.5, the goal of the weaker side is crucial: the result of 2:0 leaves the under, while 2:1 immediately moves the match to the over. A 2:1 or 1:1 profile explains why the advantage of the selected market side is not always large. Status: NOBET
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Typ HT/FT: 1/1. Japan has four points after a draw with Netherlands and a 4-0 win over Tunisia. Sweden broke Tunisia, but then lost 1-5 to Netherlands, revealing problems in defending space behind the midfield. Japan is the slight favorite thanks to better organization, but the Swedish strikers maintain a high level of risk. Japan more often takes control gradually, but with its current form it can also lead to a break already. The highest paths were 1/1 23%, X/X 17% and 2/2 17%. The HT/FT distribution has been calibrated so that its final result is consistent with our 1X2: 40%–29%–31%. This is a high-variance market, so the stake should be lower than the base market.
