W. Japan vs Norway &— W Betting Tips: W. Japan to Win

Japan was the country that was most surprised by the game this year. By roaring through their team and winning each of their three games, the Far Eastern girls were able to secure their spot in the Women’s World Cup final-16. They now intend to continue their work for the championship on Saturday.

The better aim change of 11 goals scored and none conceded by the 2011 Women’s World Cup champions during the group stage is best evidence of their dominance at both ends of the field. Only three shots were allowed on target by Japan’s protective shield, making it impossible to breach.

Japan will undoubtedly enter Saturday’s final 16 showdown with confidence that they will complete the task without any difficulty after winning each of their previous four games by a combined score of 16-0, which included the sensational 4 — 0 victory over Madrid Women on the final day of the Group C— Nadeshiko.

While many saw them as one of the contenders for the trophy before the curtain-raiser to the Women’s World Cup campaign, Norway &— Women were rather disappointing by picking up just a point from their opening two group games, losing to co-hosts New Zealand 0-1 and drawing goalless 0-0 with Switzerland.

With a stunning 6 — 0 victory over Philippines, Hege Riise’s girls were able to improve their performance at the competition and take second place in Group A. In fact, the Nordics’ just victory in the previous seven games across all tournaments was against a team that isn’t among the top 40 in FIFA.

Buoyed by a strong recent head-to-head record &— outplaying Norway in four of their last five meetings &— W. Japanomen will be determined to prove their worth on the pitch again and progress to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Coming into this contest with a poor offensive performance (failing to score in two of the three group games), it is difficult to imagine Norway breaking through the defensive resistance of the Japanese, whose defense is untouchable.
