Japan – China : Preview & Prediction
Japan arrives chaining 3 consecutive victories in this World Cup Qualification. A good dynamic in which they have just beaten Oman (0-1), Vietnam (0-1) and Australia (2-1). These victories place them in 2nd position in the group with 1 point ahead of Australia (3rd) and 4 points ahead of Saudi Arabia (1st).
Therefore, Japan goes into this matchup knowing that they need a win to stay in the standings, as third place would give them access to the playoffs.
China arrives without having managed to win in 5 of their last 6 matches in this World Cup Qualifying (2 draws and 3 losses). A bad dynamic for a team that has just drawn at home against Australia (1-1) and Oman (1-1), in which it has only beaten Vietnam (3-2), and in which it has been defeated by Saudi Arabia (3-2), by Japan (0-1) and by Australia (3-0).
In this way, it is in 5th position, 6 points behind Australia (3rd) and 7 points behind Japan (2nd). Therefore, China faces this duel knowing that only victory is worth it to rejoin the fight for qualification, either directly or through the playoff.
