Prediction published on 03/09/2017, 06:02  by in Football Predictions

This match means all to Saudi Arabia and so little to Japan, who have already secured their place at the 2018 World Cup and heading to the final clash of the third round of qualifiers, Saudi Arabia will not want a repeat of their last two results, where they have lost, to Australia and UAE. Saudi Arabia need to win this game and hope they better Australia’s goal difference; playing at home should come as an advantage for them. Saudi Arabia have lost two and won three of their last five matches while playing at home has produced three wins and two draws, with seven goals scored and two conceded. They are unbeaten at home in the last 10 matches with just two losses at home in their last 18 World Cup qualifying matches at home. Japan on the other hand boast of a 10 match unbeaten run and are also unbeaten in their last seven World Cup qualifying matches. They have three wins and two draws in the last five matches and the same is replicated away from home in the last five matches, where they have scored eight goals and conceded two. This match has never ended in a draw. Head to head, the two nations have met five times and Saudi Arabia have two wins while Japan have three wins.
