Australia is Japan. Forecast and announcement for selection match to the 2026 World Cup

On June 5, the Optus will host the 9th round of the decisive selection stage for the World Cup in Asia, in which the Australian national team will play against Japan. The match will start at 14:10 Kyiv time.

Australia

The team was achieved as a representative of Oceania before the debut at the World Cup. But in search of greater competition, it was decided to go to Asian football. There, too, managed not to get lost. Up to the fact that the Cup of Asia also won – however, in their fields, taking the tournament.

Here is the current qualification. The change of the mentor did not particularly help – with Tony Popovichi still mainly the meetings were reduced to draws. Only in March, having won Indonesia and China, did it be more or less confident from Saudi Arabia, in a dispute over 2nd place. The distance is now equal to 3 points, and, having won now, it will be possible to finally consolidate the usual pass to the World Cup.

Japan

Only at the end of the last century, the national team began to introduce something in world football. As a result, after the debut at this level in 1998, she was obliged to go to all subsequent tournaments, even a couple of times, having entered the playoffs. There were also successes at the Asian Cup, but last year one of the favorites gave way to Iran in the quarterfinals.

But in the qualification the wards of Moria are almost perfect. In 2024, they only once with the Australians who just released the trainer, lost their points. So it is not surprising that the team was one of the first to go to the World Cup. Well, in view of this, we can understand why in the extreme round the group leader was limited only by a zero draw, taking on its field an ambitious Saudi Arabia.

Personal meetings

The Japanese do not lose in eleven eye duels in a row, and even won three times in a row. But in the fall, the Australians were able to build a field duel to a draw 1-1.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe that even more chances of success will be more likely to have. But they no longer need nothing, so ambitious owners will not be able to lose (the coefficient – 1.6).
