Japan Women vs Norway Women Preview & Picks

Japan notched some impressive group wins and are scoring goals for fun.

The Nadeshiko can beat a Norway side that scraped through Group A and struggles for goals.

  • Japan have won to nil in their last 4 games
  • Japan have won their last 2 games against Norway
  • Norway have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 games

Head To Head

  • Japan lead the all-time series 5-3

Japan Women Form

Japan thrashed Spain 4-0 in their final group match. Hinata Miyazawa struck twice and Riko Ueki also scored in the first half before Mina Tanaka added a late third.

It was Japan’s third consecutive victory following win against Costa Rica (3-0), Zambia and Panama (5-0).

Futoshi Ikeda’s side have won six of their last seven games in all competitions and conceded two goals.

Midfielder Hinata Miyazawa was recalled to the starting lineup last time out. She could start again following her brace against Spain.

Norway Women Form

Norway beat the Philippines 6-0 to progress from Group A. Sophie Roman Haug scored three and Graham Hansen and Guro Reiten also got on the scoresheet.

The victory followed a 0-0 draw with Switzerland and a 1-0 opening match loss against New Zealand.

Norway are winless in six of their last seven games and have failed to score in four of these fixtures.

Striker Ada Hegerberg is doubtful due to injury. 

Midfielder Graham Hansen was recalled against the Philippines and is expected to start again. 

Verdict

Japan have winning momentum and will be on high after a dominant win against fellow favourites Spain last time out.

Norway are out of form and the Nadeshiko can take advantage in the knockout stages.
