◆ CheckLive verdict
Slight edge — Japan
CheckLive's assessment favours Japan, driven by a commanding edge in recent form and mental resilience. Tunisia's defensive vulnerabilities and poor run leave them chasing the game, with Japan's composure and transition threat likely decisive in a tight World Cup group stage battle.
