Saudi Arabia vs Japan Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by Devesh Jaganath in World Cup Predictions
AFC World Cup qualifier action continues on Thursday night when Saudi Arabia host Japan at the King Abdullah Sports City. The Arabian Falcons have earned four points from their first two matches to put them in second position in the group while the Samurai Blue currently occupy top spot with six points. Check our match prediction below.
The Green had seen themselves a goal and man down before the 20th-minute mark against China in their last match, but an inspired and gritty performance would see them level the game by halftime and steal the match in the dying embers with a 90th-minute winner.
That result would be the first win of this qualification campaign for Saudi Arabia following a 1-1 draw against Indonesia on matchday one.
However, with just one win from their last five matches, the Green Falcons will need to find inspiration at home and consistently carve out positive results if they wish to further their qualification efforts.
Meanwhile, the Samurai Blue made light work of Bahrain last time out with a free-flowing performance that saw them net five goals without reply.
That same free-flowing nature has become consistent in the Japanese performances, as they have produced a six-match win streak in which they have found themselves on the scoresheet an impressive 26 times.
With four of their last five matches ending on a positive note and a total of 16 goals to show for it, the Samurai Blue have proven that they are a force to be reckoned with and will see this as a match in which they should be claiming all three points.

Our Saudi Arabia vs Japan Prediction
Although Saudi Arabia will have the support of Jeddah behind them, they have not been able to capitalize on this advantage in recent matches and it will certainly not get any easier when the Blue Samurai come to town.
Japan have run rampant in their recent outings and look likely to add the Arabian Falcons to the tally of victories on their road to qualification. Our Saudi Arabia vs Japan prediction: Japan wins!
