The 2022 FIFA World Cup is now serving us some top matches like the game between Senegal and the Netherlands, which seemed more like the opening game.
England had a great first match, which makes them early favourites, but Germany could respond with a top performance of their own in this game.
The Germans dominated their qualifiers, but they face a Japanese side that is young and one of the top sides from Asia.
Hansi Flick has a talented squad that should see off the Japanese, but it is never advisable to underrate anyone at the World Cup.
Japan lost their last warm-up game to Canada, but this is the competition proper and we expect them to be in a better mood.
Germany has a defeat from their last five competitive games and it was against Hungary, which should give their opponents hope they can be beaten.
We expect to see a few goals in this match.
The best bet prediction is over 2.
5 goals. For similar predictions, click here.
