THE PREDICTION
This is a massive match for the Japanese. They will have the home advantage of getting to play in Saitama and they will need to make it count. They have lost two of their opening three matches against Oman and Saudi Arabia with a comfortable victory over China in the middle of that. They now come up against an Australian side that sit atop of the group having won all three and conceding just one goal as they continue their impressive cycle following their impressive second round stage. Japan have scored one and conceded two so this game is likely to be a tense and low-scoring encounter as the hosts seek to get back on track.
