Following their opening defeat to England, the Scots will be desperate to pick up all three points against Japan and improve their chances of staying in this tournament past the group stages.
Japan, on the other hand, kicked off their campaign with a rather disappointing goal less draw against Argentina.
This was Japan’s third consecutive draw on the international scene having earlier tied against Spain and Germany in warm-up games.
In fact, Japan haven’t won a game in five consecutive attempts. Their last victory came in the SheBelieves Cup last March when the Asian side won 3-1.
Despite this, Japan are 8/11 favourites to turn that horrific run of results around and take all three points against Scotland.
The British side are ranked 13 places lower than their upcoming opponents but, they will no doubt take inspiration from Argentina who managed a draw despite being ranked 37thin the world.
Scotland didn’t look too bad against England which is why the recommendation is to back a draw.
Something seems to be off in the Japanese camp and this may give the Scots an opportunity to get at least a point.
