Japan will host Vietnam in the last fixture of the Asia: World Cup Qualifications and this game is not really important to either side.

Japan vs Vietnam: Top Free Betting Tips

Japan have already qualified directly to the World Cup. Overall, this entire group has been settled already, so this game will be something like a friendly international and we will probably see loads of rotations.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

Obviously, as the weakest team in the group, Vietnam had a bunch of goals in their games, mostly scored by their opponents. They had 5 games with over 2.5 goals out of the 9 to date. On the other side, however, we have the strongest team in the group with the best defense – Japan. At the same time, Japan are not a team that scores a lot of goals – they have scored 11 in 9 matches. We do not expect a goal from Vietnam and we expect no more than 2 from Japan.

Both Teams To Score – No

As explained above, we do not expect to see a goal scored by Vietnam. It is true that we might see some different squads in this fixture although the World Cup is quite close and the Japanese manager should have at least some idea about his main players. Nevertheless, we will probably see changes, which could benefit Vietnam but we still do not expect a goal. Japan conceded a goal in only three fixtures out of their nine to date.

Team Total Goals – Japan Under 2.5

We expect the exact score of this match to be 2:0. This has been the most common result from Japan and since this game has absolutely no meaning, we do not expect them to be playing at their best even. Vietnam conceded a lot of goals overall but Japan have not scored more than 2 goals in any of their nine fixtures to date here. They did in the previous stages but there were very weak national teams there.

Japan vs Vietnam: Form, Recent Games, and News

Japan Preview

Japan have been impressive in all aspects of the game although we generally expected more goals from them. The teams' style is to play strong defense and score one or two goals to seal their victory. They never search for more. They shouldn't struggle against Vietnam even if they play with an entire team of substitutes.

Vietnam Preview

Nobody expected an underdog success story from Vietnam and it is even impressive to see them this far in the qualifications. Logically, they are the weakest team in the group and will go into this game with the goal to win for a second time against a weakened Japan. Overall, Vietnam scored only 7 goals in 9 fixtures and 3 of them in a single one, so their attack has serious issues and needs improvement.
