Israel
The Israeli team has not impressed in the current Olympics and occupies the last place in their group after two matches. Following a draw with Mali, Israel lost to Paraguay in a thrilling encounter.
There are still chances to advance to the playoffs. For this, they need to beat the unmotivated Japanese team and hope for a favorable outcome in the parallel match.
Japan
The Japanese team is predictably showing good football and, after two matches, has secured the group victory and a place in the playoffs of the Olympic tournament.
The team looked great in both matches, thrashing Paraguay 5-0 and then securing a narrow win over Mali. In the last match of the group stage, the Japanese can afford to play with a semi-reserve lineup.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head Encounters
- Israel has not won in their last eight Olympic matches.
- Japan has not conceded a goal in the current Olympic Games.

Israel vs Japan Prediction
