Japan vs Norway
Japan have been over bet going into this match for me, there has been an overreaction to Japan’s very impressive victory over Spain. The Japanese face a Norwegian side who many seen as outsiders for this tournament, Norway lost their opening game against New Zealand but they have been better since, they were the better team against the Swiss in a 0-0 draw then they beat the Philippines 6-0. Norway have a real aerial treat and they can exploit any Japan in this area by keeping it tight at the back and playing for set pieces, these sides are ranked 11th and 12th in the world so there is little between them but the betting has Japan as favourites on the -0.75 line, which feels a little big, so betting Norway.
