How are both teams coming into this?
Japan enter this tie buoyed by a strong recent record in qualifying friendlies and competitive fixtures. They average around 2.4 goals per game while conceding less than one, and boast a clean sheet frequency of roughly 60%. Their tactical cohesion and defensive solidity make them clear favorites on home soil.
Indonesia, on the other hand, have struggled in away qualifiers, conceding an average of 2.1 goals per match and keeping clean sheets in under 20% of outings. Despite these numbers, they will look to frustrate Japan with disciplined defending and hit on the counter in transition opportunities.
Our forecast
Given Japan’s attacking firepower and home advantage, we expect them to dominate possession and create numerous scoring chances. A comfortable win by two or more goals looks likely, and the market for over 2.5 goals presents good value. Confidence in Japan’s front line should see at least three goals scored.
Indonesia’s best hope is to remain compact at the back, but Japan’s ability to break down deep blocks suggests a scoreline of around 3-0 in favour of the hosts. A clean sheet for Japan is also a realistic outcome, making the ‘Japan clean sheet’ market worth consideration.
