Spain will face Japan in an intriguing 2022 World Cup match at the Khalifa International Stadium on Thursday evening. Japan vs Spain (JPN vs SPN) will be an exciting match as both sides must win to secure qualification for the next round.
Japan – After a stunning 2-1 comeback victory over Germany in their first Group E match, many expected Japan to take all three points against Costa Rica on Sunday. However, the Blue Samurai were defeated 1-0 by their Central American counterparts to widen Group E ahead of the final round of matches.
Spain – Spain missed out on a place in the last 16 after being held to a 1-1 draw by a much-improved German team in Al Khor over the weekend. So the game against Japan will be a significant game for the Spanish side.
