BlockBeats News, June 29th - According to the prediction market platform Predict.fun, in the 2026 USA-Canada-Mexico World Cup Round of 32 knockout stage, Brazil will face Japan. As of the time of writing, the market has assigned Brazil a probability of advancement of around 74% and Japan a probability of advancement of around 27%. Traders overall are more optimistic about the "Seleção" advancing to the next round.
It is worth noting that the Japanese team previously staged a come-from-behind victory against Brazil with a 3-2 score in a friendly match last October, marking their first-ever win against the Brazilian team. However, the market believes that as they enter the World Cup knockout stage, Brazil, with a more complete lineup, still holds a significant advantage.
