Netherlands vs Japan World Cup prediction
The Netherlands, who were World Cup runners-up in 1974, 1978 and 2010, are hoping they can challenge for honours in North America this summer.
On paper, Ronald Koeman's Oranje look to have one of the toughest groups, but their confidence will be boosted by the fact that the Netherlands have never been ousted at the round robin stage.
Like a conveyor belt, the Dutch have continued to churn out talented stars who have starred on the world stage. The likes of Johan Cruyff, Dennis Bergkamp, Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie weaved their magic in the past and now present-day stars, such as Cody Gakpo, Tijjani Reijnders and Memphis Depay, are aiming to replicate past heroics.
Netherlands arrive in North America on the back of a very impressive qualifying campaign, which saw them go unbeaten, winning six, drawing two and scoring 27 goals along the way. Depay who now plies his trade in Brazil with Corinthians, top-scored for Oranje, netting eight during the qualifiers.
The Dutch have, in fact, only lost once since the summer of 2024 and that was a slim 1-0 Nations League defeat to Germany in Munich (October 2024).
While Netherlands have a positive record against Japan, including a 1-0 group stage victory at the 2010 World Cup, they’ll be taking on a Samurai Blue outfit this summer, who have risen in stature over the past couple of decades.
Japan, which will be competing at their eighth straight World Cup tournament, keeps producing top-notch performances. Hajime Moriyasu, who has been at the helm since 2018, has seen his side lose just twice in the past two years.
Two of their most impressive displays came within the last seven months. Following on from a historic 3-2 win over Brazil (Oct 2025) on home soil, Japan beat England 1-0 at Wembley (Mar 2026), with Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma grabbing the only goal of the game. It was the first time the Three Lions had failed to net since June 2024.
