Japan v Australia predictions

Japan is 4-1-1 so far in their World Cup Qualification Group, seven points ahead of Australia at 1-3-1. Those stats put Japan 1st in the Group and Australia third. It must be said the Aussies has one game in hand though. The teams played 1-1 in Australia.

Japan is likely to field the following team: Kawashima, Uchida, Kurihara, Konno, Nagatomo, Hasebe, Endo, Okazaki, Honda, Kagawa, Maeda. Only defender Yoshida can be said to miss out for this side. 

Australia is likely to field this side: Schwarzer, North, Neill, Ognenovski, Carney, Wilkshire, Valeri, Bresciano, McKay, Kennedy, Kewell. For Australia, only Brett Holman is missing. He scored in the 2-2 game against Oman, and this lively fellow will definitely be missed. 

Japan v Australia betting tips

For me Japan is the better side. With the likes of Inter's Nagatomo, Sakai of Stuttgart and Uchida of Schalke 04 at the back they are solid. Of course, they'd prefer to have Southamptons Yoshida here for aerial battles, but overall, they look well equipped. In midfield they got Unai, who had a good season with Eintrach Frankfrut in the Bundesliga and the attackminded Honda with 4 goals in the WCQ matches so far. Up front Kagawa of Man U is well known. Player for player Australia can't match that. I'd say Australia isn't better than their latest results indicate. I think this will be a very tough trip for Australia. My betting tips is they will leave empty handed.

The home win is priced at 9/10 (1.90) with Bet365. I think the market is looking to much at Australia's past and too little at Japans very strong first eleven. Good for us, those odds are excellent. New Clients at Bet365 can also get up to £200 in deposit bonuses as well as the same amount in free bets.
