Level at 90 minutes
Tunisia have had a fairly good run of form recently; they have no losses in their last five games, with three wins and two draws. This is due, in part, to their solid defence; as Tunisia did not concede a single goal in their last five games. On the other hand, Japan have been unstoppable in recent months; they have eight wins in their last 10 games, with a draw and a loss. These are two teams that don’t lose often, and considering this is a final, we believe they’ll be level at the end of regulation time.
Both teams will score
This is a bit tricky considering Tunisia did not allow any goals in their last five games; however, it’s going to be difficult to shut out a Japan side that found the net in nine of their last 10 games. In fact, Japan have played three matches this month, and they scored at least four goals in two of them. Just like Japan, Tunisia have scored their fair share of goals; they found the back of the net six times in their last two games. All things considered, we should expect both teams to register goals today.
A low scoring match
Finally, we’ll take a look at the over/under goals market. Although Japan scored eight goals in their last three games, they’ve actually been involved in a lot of low-scoring games. It’s worth mentioning that seven of Japan’s last nine games went below the 2.5 goal mark. It’s been the same case with Tunisia, as they allowed just two goals in their last nine games; seven of Tunisia’s last eight games went under 2.5, with six of those games going under 1.5. With this in mind, this should be a low-scoring game.

Japan thrashed Ghana by a 4:1 scoreline to book a place in the final of the Kirin Cup; they’ve now won eight of their last 10 games across all competitions, with just one loss in that stretch. Japan will look to win this tournament a record 12 times by beating Tunisia today; they’ll call on Takefusa Kubo to provide the goals.
