According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Japan is favored to win the match, as it has odds of +110 to prevail, while Greece has odds of +260 to win. The odds of a draw have been set at +240, while the over/under total has been set at 2.5 goals.
Greece comes into today’s match with not a lot of World Cup success. It has a 1-6-0 record in seven career matches, having scored just two goals while allowing 18. Japan is 4-8-3 in World Cup play, scoring a total of 13 goals while allowing 18.
WORLD CUP FREE PICK: Neither team is too outstanding, but both feel like this is a game they need to get in order to do anything in this World Cup. Both are coming off a loss, with Greece losing 3-0 to Colombia and Japan losing 2-1 to the Ivory Coast. Greece has been a mess in World Cup play, scoring just two goals in seven matches. Japan has at least put up a fight in most of its contests. In this match, Japan’s experience edge and success edge should push it past a Greece team that has a long way to go to be in the mix in the World Cup.
WORLD CUP FREE PICK: JAPAN +110
