They drew 2-2 with the Netherlands and dismantled Tunisia 4-0. Sweden suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to the Dutch. Japan&#8217;s fluid attack will exploit Sweden&#8217;s fragile defence. Sweden must push forward for a win to qualify. This necessity leaves vast spaces behind their full-backs. Japan will ruthlessly counter-attack these areas and secure victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-both-teams-to-score\">Both teams to score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweden possess immense attacking quality. Alexander Isak and Viktor Gy\u00f6keres spearhead their frontline. They scored five goals against Tunisia. Japan&#8217;s aggressive high block occasionally leaves pockets of space exposed. Sweden&#8217;s dynamic wing-backs will stretch the play and create chances. Both sides boast lethal forwards.

He faces the daunting task of stopping Ayase Ueda. Hien commits frequent fouls. He accumulated five yellow cards in 28 Serie A matches this season. His disciplinary record shows a tendency for rash challenges. Japan&#8217;s quick transitions will force him into difficult defensive situations. He will likely commit a cynical foul to halt a counter-attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ayase-ueda-to-score-anytime\">Ayase Ueda to score anytime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayase Ueda leads the Japanese attack with supreme confidence. He scored a spectacular brace against Tunisia and netted 25 goals in the Eredivisie this season. He thrives on intelligent movement and explosive finishing and leads Europe&#8217;s top leagues in headed goals. Sweden conceded five goals in their last match. Ueda will capitalise on their defensive vulnerabilities and score.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a
