Japan v Mexico Match Betting Tips and Predictions

The 2013 Confederations Group stage concludes this weekend with Japan taking on Mexico in the last game of group A. Neither team have anything to play for as Italy and Brazil have already sealed their progression in the competition from this group.

The win markets for this game make Japan slight favourites at 13/8 (Betfred). There won't be much between these two teams, but if Japan can repeat the performance they put up against Italy in their last game they would surely win. They put up one hell of a fight against the Italians and were desperately unlucky not to have at least drawn the game.

Scoring 3 past Italy in any game is some achievement, however lets not let this cloud our judgement too much, as if you remember the opening game of the competition, the Japanese pretty much rolled over and had their bellies tickled by Brazil.

So we have seen the good and the bad side of Japan so far, only really leaving the ugly to come…

Mexico have only tasted victory once in the last 11 games, their only win coming against Jamaica earlier this year. However 8 of these 11 were draws, and the two defeats were the most recent games against Italy & Brazil, so no disgrace there. So you could also make the point that until these recent defeats they were in-fact unbeaten in 13 games, winning 5, but their recent form (last 5 games) reads WDDLL.

I can't really see a winner in this game, neither team is really in any kind of form, and both capable of beating the other on their day.

For that reason I am going straight down the middle and calling a draw, best price 29/12 at Betfair.

Japan have concealed 7 goals in the 2 games so far and scored 3, Mexico have concealed 4 and scored 1. I am predicting goals here as this tournament has seen them flying in in most games so far. So I am going to go for a correct score of 2-2 which you can get at 14/1 from Bet Victor! Definitely worth a punt.

But if you want to play it a bit safer, both teams to score should come in pretty comfortably and you can get 8/11 from Betfred on this market.
