U-17 WWC, does Japan stand a chance?

Like the title said! I'm not sure who to talk to about this... I'm watching the U-27 WWC and cheering on (Little Nadeshiko) Japan, but our next match is against DPRK, and I'm scared.

DPRK (North Korea) is a very formidable team; they beat last year's U-17 team in the Asian Cup and won last year's U-17 WWC. After watching the group stage I assumed we'd lose when we got to quarter finals, but after seeing the match against Colombia, seeing how well this new team played, I have so much hope?

I'm new to the women's football world, I don't have the best game sense yet, so I wanted to know if wiser people on this Subreddit could share their opinions on if it's possible? Ik it's a silly ask, it's not as if you can predict it, but I just really wanted to know what people who know more about football think.
