On January 22, 2025, the USA and Japan will meet in the placement round of the World Handball Championship. The game starts at 12:00 PM EST. Both teams showed great commitment in the preliminary round, but for the most part, failed to score the much-needed points. The USA lost to Brazil and Portugal, while Japan lost to Sweden and Spain. Nevertheless, both teams showed fighting spirit and each achieved a victory: the USA beat Belgium and Japan triumphed over Chile. Japan's offense was much better, as the team put more shots into the opponent's net. However, the team's offense is also shaky. The opponents' 109 goals are a revelation. The USA, on the other hand, have conceded 94 goals.

Our USA vs Japan Prediction

We're betting on a win for Japan. The team has more pace and tactical discipline. Captain Remi Anri Doi leads the team confidently at the back. Shinnosuke Tokuda and Masashi Kumagae impress on the wing with their speed and precise finishing. Although the USA show fighting spirit, their offense seems less well-rehearsed. Ian Hüter and Gary Hines will have to deliver consistently to put Japan under pressure. Defensively, both teams have weaknesses, but Japan's quick transition game will make the difference.

Our prediction for USA vs Japan: Japan win.

Prediction:
