Japan vs El Salvador Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Sridhar in Football Predictions
The Toyota Stadium on Thursday will see Japan host El Salvador in the 2023 Kirin Challenge Cup. This match is categorized as a friendly with Japan looking for their first win in this Cup while the visitors are playing the first game. The Blue Samurai have drawn 1-1 against Uruguay in the first match of this year’s Kirin Challenge. After that they lost 2-1 to Colombia. Both these matches took place in March, on the back of their successful 2022 World Cup campaign. Japan topped a group that also had Spain and Germany before losing to Croatia via penalties in the round of 16. The hosts will hope to lean back on their superior squad strength with the likes of Takefusa Kubo, Daichi Kamada and Kaoru Mitoma all part of the team.
El Salvador are playing their first game of this Cup and will look for an upset. The only time they played Japan was back in 2019 in a friendly that they lost 2-0. The Cuscatlecos were last seen in March when they lost 1-0 to Honduras in a friendly. That made it four straight defeats for them, the last three coming without scoring. Going a bit further back, El Salvador have won only once across their last 12 matches in all competitions and friendlies. This sequence has seen them lose eight and draw three games, which casts a shadow over their chances here.
