Bahrain

LWWDDW

Bahrain are hoping to win again following a 0-1 WC Qualifiers - Asia success over Australia.

In that match, Bahrain had 29% possession and 3 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Australia got 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Harry Souttar (89' Own goal) was the scorer for Australia.

Their more recent scorelines reveal that it has been a great time for the Bahrain rearguard. Bahrain have been mean at the back, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their last six matches standing at 4. We will just have to see if that trend can be sustained here.

Japan

LWWWWW 🔥

Japan will go into the game following on from a 7-0 WC Qualifiers - Asia win with the downing of China in their most recent game.

In that match, Japan managed 77% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 9 on target. For Japan, the goalscorers were Wataru Endō (12'), Kaoru Mitoma (45'), Takumi Minamino (52', 58'), Junya Ito (77'), Daizen Maeda (87') and Takefusa Kubo (90'). China got 1 shots at goal with 0 of them on target.

Illustrating their bias toward eventful matches, we’ve seen goals 24 times in the prior six games in which Japan have taken to the pitch, yielding a mean average of 4 goals each clash. Opposition teams have hit 2 of those goals.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Bahrain are dangerous enough to find the net against this Japan lineup, although just one goal is unlikely to be enough to give them the result that they want.

We therefore reckon that it will be both teams to score in a 1-2 win for Japan after 90 minutes. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
