Japan will play Saudi Arabia on Tuesday in the 5th round of the Asian World Cup Qualification, the hosts are currently in 3rd place 3 points behind leaders and todays opponent Saudi Arabia. The visitors are one out of two remaining teams that are undefeated after 4 games played together with Australia, Saudi Arabia are undefeated in their last 5 games on the road and only conceded 2 goals. Japan usually are very strong at home, they only lost twice in their last 13 games at home with many of them by a large margin and keeping a clean sheet.
For this match I will go with the visitors to win with a +2.5 goal handicap, in their last 13 away games Saudi Arabia only lost once by a margin of 3 goals. They have been really solid and since head coach Bert van Marwijk took over things look to go even better. The Dutch coach has plenty of experience as coach of the Netherlands national team and seems to have a good chance of leading his team to Russia for the World Cup. His team has the best goal difference of Group B and conceded fewest goals shared with Australia, I think the visitors will be able to keep this game close and concede a maximum of 2 goals and maybe even score themselves. Even with Japan being very motivated to win here and having the advantage of playing at home they might struggle against this well organized team.
