Those who will be watching

Young Spain started the season with a strong win against Costa Rica, but could not hold it against the Germans. But Gavi, Pedrira can become terrible again against Japan today. Along with Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres will also want to score again to reach the last sixteen.

Japanese fans will once again look to Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano, the two heroes of German monster slaying. Real Sociedad's Takefusa Kubo also needs to live up to his name. Hidemasa Morita, Yuto Nagatomo will also need to retain the form of the last match to maintain the attacking style.

Possible line-up

Spain: (4-3-3): Simon (goalkeeper), Carvajal, Torres, Laporte, Alba, Pedri, Rodri, Koke, Torres, Morata, Olmo

Japan: (4-2-3-1): Gonda (goalkeeper), Yamane, Itakura, Yoshida, Nagatomo, Morita, Tanaka, Doan, Kubo, Kamada, Ueda

Japan will be desperate to make things happen in this match. On the other hand, Spain can also squeeze the Asians who are lagging behind in terms of power. But accidents are a regular occurrence at the World Cup in Qatar, so anything can happen.
