Tonga vs. Japan Preview & Tips
Both Tonga and Japan will be in the hunt for their first World Cup wins when they clash in Okara Park on Wednesday.
Tonga vs. Japan Trends Analysis
Tonga and Japan have clashed seven times in the past ten years, with Japan winning five of these clashes – including the most recent – while two wins went the way of Tonga.
Tonga has been in poor form in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Losing to New Zealand in the opening match before crumbling against a much-improved Canadian side.
There’s no doubt that the Tongans have the potential to play better, given their defeats of Fiji and Samoa earlier in the season, and if they’re going to hit their straps it will be in this match.
Japan, meanwhile, was brought down to ground with a bump when it followed its impressive performance against France with a big loss to the All Blacks.
While the Japanese prevented New Zealand from putting a century on the board, there’s little else that can be said about the Japanese performance, and much will depend on their ability to dust themselves off and rise to the occasion on Wednesday.
Tonga vs. Japan Betting Tips
The last match between these two sides was decided by a single point, and it appears as if more of the same will be on the cards on Wednesday.
We’re expecting a tight match which Japan should edge, and bookies concur with most offering a -6 handicap on Japan.
However, our Tonga vs Japan betting tip is to go with a bet on the winning margin markets, where you can score great value on a 1-10 point winning margin on Japan at Paddy Power.
