Bahrain vs Japan Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by Kennedy Kechula in World Cup Predictions
Bahrain will be lining up for another shock result when they welcome Japan for their next AFC World Cup qualifier. The two nations meet in Group C having bagged three points apiece so far. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Hosts Bahrain posted what could rank as their biggest result in the World Cup qualifiers in Round 1. A late own goal granted them a 1-0 win over Australia away from home and they are looking to go top here.
This being the 11th meeting between these two nations, Bahrain will be gunning for a third victory against Japan. One of the two wins was in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers but the most recent was in 2009. Heading into this game, Bahrain have three straight losses against their visitors.
In the previous six meetings between these nations, Japan managed five wins. Their place as favorites in this game is not in doubt. Right before this game, Japan thrashed China 7-0 at home in the biggest win of Match Day 1 of the third round.
Japan’s 3-1 win over Bahrain in the Asian Cup in January was their third straight victory in this fixture. Having topped their group in the second round, the Samurai Blue are favorites to top here again. A win in Bahrain will ensure they finish Match Day 2 at the Group C summit.
The big win over China was rarely a surprise; they had scored 13 times in the previous three World Cup qualifying games. It extended their winning run to five straight matches in World Cup qualification, Japan having kept consecutive clean sheets.

Our Bahrain vs Japan Prediction
Japan are clear favorites and will be boosted by their ruthless thrashing of China. There’s no question about their superiority in this fixture, having beaten Bahrain in each of their last three meetings.
In terms of their recent form, Japan have not only won their last five matches, but did with clean sheets. Meanwhile, Bahrain are flying high after their away win in Australia but this game will give them a reality check.
Their scoring form isn’t great, yet here they meet one of the best defences. Our prediction for Bahrain v Japan is for Japan to win with a clean sheet.
