Japan U20 and France U20 are set to clash in the round of 16 of the 2025 U20 World Cup in Chile. The fifth match between the two nations finds both in good scoring form. The winner here will meet either Paraguay or Norway. Read on for our prediction.
Playing in Group A, Japan overcame all their opening three hurdles, packing nine points to top the pool. The Japanese didn’t just win them all but did so with clean sheets.
These nations met as recently as March 2025, and like the earlier three meetings, thar too had over 2.5 goals, with Japan winning 3-1. Right before this match, Japan beat New Zealand 3-0, their fifth win in 10 matches.
France finished their group assignments with six points, three less than Japan’s tally. However, they scored eight goals, which is one more than Japan’s.
The European nation recovered from a 3-0 loss to the USA by beating New Caledonia 6-0. For the French, that was the eighth win in the last 10 matches. They have only lost once in the process and also failed to score in one match.
Seven times in their last 10 matches, also, France scored at least two goals. Defence might be an area of concern for the French, having let in nine goals in the last 10 matches.
