📊 Form Guide
Japan
WLWWWW 📈
Japan, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 5-0 WC Qualifiers - Asia success over Syria.
In that game, Japan had 67% possession and 21 attempts on goal with 13 on target. For Japan, the goals were scored by Ayase Ueda (13'), Ritsu Doan (19'), Yuki Soma (73') and Takumi Minamino (85'). Syria had 7 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target.
Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that it has been a great time for the Japan backline. Japan have been stingy, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous 6 clashes standing at 3. We will have to see if that trend can be continued on in this game.
China
DLDWDL
After being beaten in their last game against Korea Republic in WC Qualifiers - Asia action, China and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, China managed 20% possession and 2 shots at goal with 0 of them on target. For their opponents, Korea Rep. got 11 shots at goal with 6 on target. Kang-in Lee (61') scored for Korea Republic.
The stats don’t lie, and China have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 6 goals overall. In defence, China could really do with shoring things up.
↔️ Head to head
The previous league contest between the two was WC Qualifiers - Asia match day 7 on 27/01/2022 when the final score was Japan 2-0 China.
On that occasion, Japan had 63% possession and 16 shots at goal with 6 on target. The scorers were Yuya Osako (13') and Junya Ito (61').
China had 2 shots at goal with 0 of them on target.
⚡ Prediction
When taking all factors into account, Japan will likely create the chances to score more than once when they face China, who may well struggle to score.
We’re therefore anticipating a fairly comfortable 2-0 margin for Japan at the end of the 90 minutes.
