Tunisia vs Japan

Japan is heavily favored (60% fair probability) and rightfully so: they've won 4 of last 6, concede only 0.8 goals/match (60% clean sheet rate), and beat Tunisia 2-0 in Oct 2023. Tunisia has lost 3 straight (1-5, 0-5, 0-1) with a -4 goal differential, averaging 1.2 goals scored. Japan's away form is solid (2-2 vs Netherlands most recently). H2H shows Japan dominant (1W-0D vs Tunisia's 1W). Poisson and third-party model both favor Japan. Market at 1.56 (64%) is slightly overpriced given Japan's defensive solidity and Tunisia's collapse; fair is ~60%. Under 2.5 likely (Japan defensive, Tunisia toothless); BTTS unlikely (Japan 30% BTTS rate, Tunisia's FTS 30%).

Japan 60% fair probability, strong form and defense; Tunisia in freefall with -4 GD and L3 streak.

Japan 30% BTTS rate, 60% clean sheets; Tunisia 30% FTS rate; only 0% BTTS in H2H.

Fair Under 2.5 is 55.3%; Japan defensive (0.8 GA), Tunisia toothless (1.2 GF); both teams' recent O2.5 rates ~40-50%.

Draw or Japan covers 90% fair probability; Tunisia's 16% home win odds are not justified by form or H2H.

Japan -1 is 90.1% (overpriced); Away +1 at 1.95 (51.3% fair) is fair value — Japan likely wins by 1 or less.

Tunisia Under 1.5 at 87.7% is justified (1.2 GF/match, L3); Japan Over 0.5 at 87% is safe (1.5 GF/match).

Tunisia avg 13 corners, Japan 11; total ~12 expected; Under 9.5 at 58.8% fair is marginal, lean slight under.
