China vs Japan Prediction

For this World Cup fixture we go with Under 2.5 goals for China vs Japan, at 94% confidence. In their last 5 matches, China's games produced 4.2 goals on average, 4 of them over 2.5. Japan's games averaged 7.2, with 4 of 5 over the line. Recent form leans the other way: only 2 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 94%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 0-1. The pick won.
