THE PREDICTION

Japan have an improving squad ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The Blue Samurai still have stalwarts such as Eiji Kawashima, Yuto Nagatomo, Maya Yoshida and Genki Haraguchi but the likes of Takefusa Kubo, Takumi Minamino and Takehiro Tomiyasu offer a nice blend for a rising force. They come up against a Paraguay side that have failed to qualify for a FIFA World Cup for the third successive tournament. Japan, especially with home advantage and a tournament to prepare for, will be firm favourites for this one.
