Canada vs. Japan Preview & Tips
Japan and Canada meet in an interesting Group A clash on Tuesday. Japan will be looking to record its first win of the tournament, while Canada has the chance to secure third place in this tough pool.
Canada vs. Japan Trends Analysis
Canada and Japan have met five times in the past ten years. Japan has won three of these matches, Canada has taken one victory and one match ended in a draw.
Notably, the last two matches between these sides produced big wins for Japan, with 20+ point winning margins recorded in both games.
Canada has been one of the most impressive minnow sides at the 2011 Rugby World Cup. The Canucks beat Tonga in their first match, and put up some stiff resistance against the French, scoring 25 points in defeat.
The Canadian team seems to have evolved a more mature, well-rounded style of play than many other lower tier nations, and has both the discipline and training to put away Japan.
The Japanese won’t be on a high coming into this match. After scaring France in the first round the Japanese have struggled, going down by 83 points to New Zealand before a bumbling display against Tonga so them squander that match.
While Japan is certainly capable of beating Canada, and has the track record to prove it, lack of confidence in the Japanese camp may play a decisive role in this match.
Canada vs. Japan Betting Tips
This is going to be an evenly contested encounter, and either team could emerge from the fixture with the win. This is reflected in the no-draw handicap betting market where Japan has a +3.5 handicap.
While this is a tough match to call, tournament form suggests that Canada should win this, and could well do so by 4 points or more. Our Canada vs. Japan betting tip is therefore to take the -3.5 no draw handicap bet on the Canadians.
