Typ 1X2: 1. Japan has four points after a draw with Netherlands and a 4-0 victory 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. Our independent rating is 40% for Japan, 29% for draw and 31% for Sweden. The most likely outcome profile is 2:1 or 1:1; the bet is 40% and takes into account motivation, rotation and the course of the first two rounds. Status: NOBET
