Japan produced extraordinary results to win Group E, which included two other world champions they beat after leading Germany (2-1) and Spain (2-1), although they just lost to last-ranked Costa Rica (0- 1).

For Japan, a win, on which Magnumbet offers odds of 3.80, would mean reaching the quarter-finals for the first time, the Japanese equaled their best World Cup results at the final tournament in Qatar, reaching the “eighties” in 2002 (elimination by Turkey, 0-1), 2010 (elimination by Paraguay on penalties) and 2018 (elimination by Belgium, 2-3).

It should be noted that Japan is the first team in the history of World Cups to win a match (2-1 against Spain) with only 17% possession of the ball, and against Germany (2-1) – 26%!

Coach Hajime Moriasu has an experienced squad at his disposal, with eight players playing in the Bundesliga, the most famous of whom is Daichi Kamada, registered at Eintracht Frankfurt, the last UEFA Europa League winner.

Croatia, runners-up in the world four years ago, had emotions in Group F, qualifying from 2nd place at the end of the decider with Belgium, the score 0-0, after drawing with Morocco (0-0) and overcoming Canada (4 – 1).

With odds of 2.15 offered by Magnumbet to succeed in 90 minutes, Zlatko Dalic’s side must put behind them a cautious group game where they mustered as much effort as was needed for two clean draws and a predictable win.

The winner of the Japan-Croatia match will play the winner of the Brazil-South Korea match in the quarter-finals, which is scheduled for Monday 5 December at 21:00 at Stadium 974 in Doha.

These two representatives have met at the World Cup twice, also in the group stage: in 1998 (France), when Croatia won the match against Japan with a score of 1-0, and in 2006 (Germany) with a 0-0 draw.
