Syria also fights for the promotion to the Mundial. However, showing convincing football in defense, the side demonstrated extremely weak performance in offense. As a result, Syria occupies the fourth place in the Group A table with eight points taken and 2-3 goal difference losing nearly all chances for the qualification to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia final stage. The weak trace of the Syrians is their play on the road: the team got two triumphs, three draws and five defeats in last 10 away matches.
Japan and Syria head-to-heads consist of six matches which have finished in favour of “Samurai” with 18:3 aggregated score. Taking into consideration the opponents’ head-to-heads history, plus recent teams’ results, Syria’s disability to play at away grounds as well as Japan’s outstanding performance both in front of its supporters and on the road, I believe that the hosts will take another victory over the Syrians.
Prediction for the match: Japan to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
