Finland vs Japan Prediction 10 November 2026
🔊 The Finland and Japan women’s national teams will meet on the ice. The game draws attention because of their different starts and statistical trends. It promises to test both teams’ defences and could show which side adapts to the pace of the championship more quickly.
Head-to-Head
These teams have not played each other before.
Finland Team Overview
Finland opened the tournament with two games that had the same score, beating Denmark (4-1) and losing to Sweden (1-4). Their averages over the last ten games - 2.5 goals scored and 1.9 goals allowed - point to a balanced style with an emphasis on defense.
The trends confirm a moderately high-scoring style and suggest games with five or six goals. Special teams and discipline do not stand out as clear strengths or weaknesses, so the focus is on average scoring and defensive consistency.
Match Results: Finland
Japan (W) Team Overview
Japan come into the game on a two-game losing streak, having lost to Denmark (3-2 in a shootout) and Canada (9-0). They average 2.2 goals scored per game, but their defence has struggled, allowing an average of 3.5 goals. The defence looks particularly vulnerable: Japan have allowed 12 goals and scored just two in their last two games.
The team often make mistakes in the first period, reflected in the trend for over 1.5 goals in the opening period - that total has been reached in 6 of their last 7 games.

Reliable Bet
First-period total under 2.5 goals has landed in 9 of Finland's last 10 games. Over those ten games, Finland have averaged 0.4 goals scored and 0.7 goals allowed in the first period. We pick first-period total under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.25 as a reliable bet.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between sportsbooks.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
At least five goals were scored in 8 of Finland’s last 9 World Championship games. But there is a caveat: under 5.5 goals landed in 8 of their last 9 games across all other tournaments, including World Championship games. Both runs can hold true when exactly five goals are scored. We pick match total over 4.5 goals. Predicted correct score: 4-1 to Finland.
