Germany vs. Japan - Betting tips, predictions, and odds

Germany and Japan will kick off the action in Group E at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar with a meeting at Khalifa International Stadium. Don’t wait and act quickly to get the best Germany vs. Japan betting tips and predictions. 

H2H, form, and stats

Germany and Japan have met twice, each time in a friendly match. Germany won the first one in 2004, while in 2006, these rivals drew 2-2. 

Germany suffered an unpleasant and shocking loss to North Macedonia early in the World Cup qualifications, but that was their only slip-up as they finished top of the group with 27 points out of ten games. Die Mannschaft scored 34 and conceded only four goals. However, they experienced a disappointing campaign in the UEFA Nations League, recording just one win in six matches and ending the competition behind Italy and Hungary. In the last seven games, Germany has only one victory. 

Japan fell one point short of finishing the qualification group at the top, but they ended just behind Saudi Arabia, which didn't hurt them at all. The Japanese avoided the playoffs and qualified directly for Qatar. Recently, Japan played a couple of friendly games against the USA and Ecuador, both of which will participate in the World Cup. The Samurai Blue won both games without allowing a goal along the way. 

Injuries and squad news

Germany’s head coach Hansi Flick opted for a younger team to represent the country in Qatar. Only four players, two of which are goalkeepers, are older than 30 years. Thomas Müller, Manuel Neuer, and İlkay Gündoğan are the most experienced ones, while Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sané, Joshua Kimmich, Kai Havertz, and Antonio Rüdiger will play an important role in Germany’s quest for the fifth World Cup title. 

Flick came to Qatar without injured Marco Reus and Timo Werner, which could be a problem for the Germans considering these two combined for 39 goals. Flick has six players under 23 years of age, but the most exciting of them is surely Jamal Musiala, who is impressing for Bayern Munich this season. 

Hajime Moriyasu, the Japanese head coach, couldn't count on injured Yuya Osako, Yoshinori Muto, and Yuta Nakayama. The omission of Genki Haraguchi came as a surprise, but Japan has enough quality players to make lives harder for the favorites in this group - Germany and Spain. 

Takumi Minamino is the biggest star of this team and the top scorer with 17 goals. Yuto Nagatomo and Maya Yoshida, who have 258 caps for Japan, will provide experience out of the back, while Takehiro Tomiyasu, Hiroki Sakai, Takefusa Kubo, Kaoru Mitoma, Daichi Kamada, and Takuma Asano are just some of the players who could shine this winter in Qatar. 

Germany vs. Japan Betting predictions and odds

Germany is a clear favorite here and the odds on Flick’s side to win are 1.50. Those who are chasing shocks and upsets can back Japan at 6.30, while a draw can be backed at 4.50. Unlike in the majority of Round 1 matches at this World Cup, the bookies expect to see goals in this one, and therefore, Over 2.5 goals can be played at 1.70, while Under 2.5 goals is at 2.15.

Our best tip for Germany vs. Japan game

We know that many expect Germany to start this competition with three points, and they are closer to getting a win than Japan but don’t be surprised if the underdogs manage to snatch a draw. We’re not going to bet on the winner here. Instead, we’re backing goals on both ends. 

Although Japan didn't allow a single goal in each of the last six matches, it’s going to be hard to keep the net intact against such a force as Germany. On the other hand, Germany failed to keep a clean sheet in each of the previous seven games, and we’re backing Japan to score at least one here.
