Netherlands vs Japan, June 14
The Oranje will begin their tournament campaign against one of the strongest Asian teams. Japan are a disciplined and well-organised side capable of challenging any opponent. The Dutch will look to seize the initiative from the opening minutes and will actively use the flanks in attack. Meanwhile, the Samurai Blue will rely on a compact defence and quick vertical counterattacks.
The Netherlands coaching staff value Micky van de Ven for his versatility, so in the upcoming game, the Tottenham defender could play either in his usual centre-back position or as a left-back.
Odds: W1 – 1.97, Х – 3.72, W2 – 3.96
Spain vs Cape Verde, June 15
Europe’s best team should have no trouble against the Globe Cup debutants, the modest Cape Verde. La Furia Roja boast a star-studded squad and play spectacular high-scoring football, so any result other than a victory for Spain would be a real sensation.
Spurs full-back Pedro Porro has every chance of making the starting lineup for Luis de la Fuente’s side. The only alternative in his position is Marcos Llorente, whom the Spain head coach often deploys as a right-back.
Odds: W1 – 1.1, Х – 10.7, W2 – 31
England vs Croatia, June 17
The Three Lions are among the leading contenders for the trophy. Declan Rice orchestrates the team in midfield, while Harry Kane, Tottenham’s and England’s all-time top scorer, shines in attack. Croatia enjoyed excellent runs at the previous two tournaments, reaching the final in 2018 and claiming bronze in Qatar. Since then, the Vatreni have undergone a generational transition, but experienced leaders Ivan Perišić and Luka Modrić remain in the fold and are ready for their next football feats.
Thomas Tuchel’s first choice at the right-back position is Reece James, but Spurs full-back Djed Spence could get the chance to feature in the match. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Luka Vušković, who will return to Tottenham at the end of June after spending a season on loan at Hamburg, may line up in Croatia’s defence.
Odds: W1 – 1.77, Х – 3.88, W2 – 4.86
Argentina vs Algeria, June 17
Defending champion Cristian Romero will be one of the key players for La Albiceleste in the upcoming tournament. The Tottenham captain is currently recovering from a knee injury, but he is expected to be fully fit by the start of the Globe Cup.
Romero will face a tough challenge against Algeria, whose attack is led by Riyad Mahrez. However, Argentina also have a response: Lionel Messi and Julián Alvarez are among the favourites to compete for the tournament’s Golden Boot.
Odds: W1 – 1.43, Х – 4.55, W2 – 9.2
