Brazil vs Japan prediction: 5-1 Bet Builder tip, odds, team news | World Cup 2026
Brazil face Japan in a World Cup 2026 round-of-16 match on Monday, June 29, with kick-off at 6pm at Houston Stadium in Houston, USA. The Seleção are described as hot favourites, but Japan enters on the back of a hard group and a ten-match unbeaten run, which includes a 3-2 friendly win over Brazil last year. Brazil’s campaign featured a 3-0 win over Scotland’s mistakes and a 3-0 victory over Haiti after an opening 1-1 draw with Morocco, while Japan reached second in Group F, including draws with the Netherlands and Sweden and a 4-0 win over Tunisia. Betting tips cited include Japan or draw double chance, and Brazil to win in extra-time. One boost is a Bruno Guimarães assist, with odds shown for multiple markets. The preview also highlights Japan’s March Wembley win over England, where Kaoru Mitoma scored.
