The Japan team will challenge the Tunisia team in a FIFA Matchday Friendly Match in NOEVIR Stadium Kobe Stadium, Kobe on Tuesday, October 17, 2023. For streaming coverage of Japan vs Tunisia, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
The two teams have had different performances recently, with Japan appearing very strong and productive, while Tunisia suffered a humiliating defeat to South Korea.
Japan is one of the strongest teams in Asia currently. They managed to win all their last five matches by scoring a minimum of four goals in each match. From the last seven matches, they only lost one defeat and scored a total of 22 goals.
The Samurai Blue team also showed their class by beating European teams such as Germany with a score of 4-1 at home, and Turkey with a score of 4-2 in Belgium. In their last match, they didn’t give Canada a chance by winning 4-1.
Tunisia, on the other hand, just suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat to South Korea without being able to score a single goal. Even though they previously managed to beat Egypt 3-1 and qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations final by winning a group containing Botswana, Equatorial Guinea and Libya, they were still unable to compete with the stronger Asian teams.
Tunisia has several players who play in European leagues, such as M. Talbi, A. Laïdouni, H. Rafia. However, they still lack consistency and lack self-confidence. Coach Mondher Kebaier is still looking for the best formula for his team.
This match will be an opportunity for Tunisia to prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where they will face Sao Tome & Principe and Malawi in November. However, can they withstand the onslaught of Japan which is on fire?
Japan has huge advantages in terms of quality, experience, motivation and performance. They also have high self-confidence after beating some of the biggest teams in the world. Therefore, Japan is expected to achieve absolute victory again.
