Japan takes on the visitors Thailand at "Saitama" in the round seven The Asian Football Confederation's Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played on Tuesday, March 28th.
Japan national football team wasn't defeated in six matches in a row starting the 1st of September 2016. “Samurai” recorded five wins and one draw during that time. Japan shares the first-second place with Saudi Arabia with 13 points gained and 10:5 goal difference after six played matches in the preliminary round. Vahid Halilhodzic’s team played three matches at its own turf in the preliminary round recording defeat vs. UAE 1:2 and wins vs. Iraq 2:1 and Saudi Arabia 2:1.

For Thailand national football team promotion to the third stage of the Asian qualification is already a success. But it is not strong enough to play on equal with the best teams of the continent. Thai managed to take only one point with 3-15 goal difference in six matches and occupy the last sixth place in the group. Thailand played three matches on the road in the preliminary stage resulted in three losses vs. Saudi Arabia 0:1, vs. UAE 1:3 and vs. Iraq 0:4.
Japan and Thailand head-to-heads consist of six matches which have finished in favour of Japan with 15:2 aggregated score. I believe that “Samurai” again will easily defeat the visiting side in front of their supporters and will take another step to promote for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia.
Prediction for the match: Japan to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
