Japan won 4-0 against Tunisia in World Cup 2026 qualifying. Our model backed Japan at 56 percent probability and the pick landed. Tunisia came in having lost their last match and seen both teams score in all five recent outings, but Japan's attack overwhelmed a depleted defence. Japan's recent form showed mixed results, though they managed to avoid conceding in this fixture despite their usual pattern of games with goals at both ends.
