The match will take place on Monday, June 29, at the Houston Stadium. It starts at 20:00 Kyiv time. The main referee of the confrontation will be the Italian Maurizio Mariani. GGBET experts give the following prediction: Brazil's victory in regular time — 1.71, Japan's success — 5.25, draw — 3.93. See the GGBET line on the website and find an interesting match for yourself. Hold your line! So what to bet on? We suggest betting on the option "Both teams will score", represented by the indicator 1.93. Both the Brazilians and the Japanese have scored at least one goal in each of their last ten matches, including a friendly in Tokyo in November 2025 (Japan won 3-2). Odds of 2.50 estimate the probability of taking a goal in the performance of Vinicius Junior. The star Brazilian is in great form approaching the start of the playoffs. During the group stage, he became the man of the match three times in a row, and during the last five in all tournaments, he recorded five goals and two assists. We also suggest considering the scenario "Brazil does not lose and the total is more than 2.5". You can bet on him with an indicator of 2.40. In five of the last six matches with the participation of the Brazilians, there were at least three goals. At the same time, the form of the Japanese (only two defeats in the previous 20 matches) forces to play it safe, not targeting their failure in the main time.
