Match Preview

Our partners: 777Spinslot casino was created with the intention of offering superior gameplay, customer experience, and it gives a large variety of no deposit slots from the best game developers of the industry.

We are in for a very tight affair because this is an extremely crucial game for both teams in the World Cup Qualification, AFC 4th round, Group B. With just two matchdays remaining, all is still to play for in the race for the two automatic qualification tickets to the World Cup. Currently, Japan lead the group with 17 points, while Saudi Arabia and Australia are just a point behind. The top two teams in the final table will go directly to Russia but the team that finishes third will have to go to the playoffs against the third team from Group A. Therefore, whoever wins this fixture will dramatically improve their chances of direct qualification, as we show in our Japan vs Australia preview.

The hosts should have secured their position earlier but had a few unexpected results along the way. They started the campaign with the home defeat to UAE that upset all the international soccer odds. The latest surprise was the dramatic 1-1 draw at Iraq.

The visitors are still unbeaten in the competition but they drew four out of their eight matches, including three away fixtures at Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and even Thailand. They are difficult to beat but tend to concede silly goals, and that is important for our Japan vs Australia predictions.
