Saudi Arabia had a decent start to this season as they recorded a 1-1 draw against Indonesia in the opening match and defeated China scoring 1-2 in the second match. They will hope to maintain the form further but on Thursday, they will have a hard test as the team hosts Japan.
The Japanese team follows an exceptional form across all competitions at the moment. They are on a six-match winning streak and this includes two highly motivating qualifier victories. They have not allowed goals in the past six games in a row too.
Moving on, Japan won four of the last six head-to-head clashes against Saudi Arabia. They have kept a clean sheet in the last two victories against Saudi which is noteworthy. Also, Japan was unbeaten in three of the total five road trips against Saudi Arabia. In that case, we expect a pleasant day for the visiting supporters at King Abdullah Sports City on Thursday.
Saudi Arabia have an unimpressive form even at home. They won just once in the past five matches and follows a two-match winless streak at the moment. Apart from that Saudi Arabia has allowed 9 goals in the past four clashes against Japan at this venue.
Meanwhile, Japan have a stunning away form at the moment. They won 12 of the last 15 road trips across all competitions and are now on a four-match winning streak. They scored 18 goals in the past six road trips which is noteworthy. Additionally, Ayase Ueda has scored in almost all the recent road trips of Japan and we can expect one from him here.
Considering all these observations, we expect an away win on Thursday at Saudi’s home turf. The goal trend of Japan on the road inclines us to back them to net over 2.5 goals as the second pick for this game.
