Japan 1-1 Sweden: result and AI prediction

AI match recap

Japan arrive in the steadier shape, with better recent rhythm and less defensive chaos around them than Sweden. Sweden still carry real threat through direct attacks and dead balls, but they come into this under more pressure after a bruising previous outing and with a defence that has not looked settled. The key battle is whether Japan can keep finding the inside channels behind Sweden's wing-backs without exposing themselves to counters. Team news is the main uncertainty, because Japan's availability reporting is not fully consistent across sources yet.
