Japan takes on the visitors Ukraine at “Stade Maurice Dufrasne” in a friendly clash. The game will be played in Liege on Tuesday, March 27th.
Japan is considered to be a quite strong A-team on the Asian continent. The side shows solid football on each international tournament where it participates. “Samurai Blue” have enough top class players in their squad who perform in the powerful clubs. At the moment Japan settles on the 55th position in the FIFA Rankings, however, the team really deserves to sit higher in the table. In the latest fights “Samurai Blue” have earned 1:1 draw against Mali, 1:4 smashing defeat from South Korea and 2:1 triumph over China PR.

In their turn, Ukraine has failed the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, having distressed its supporters much. Even though the team has top class players in the squad who are trained by a great head-coach, the side looks helpless and requires some changes to be done immediately. “Yellow-Blue” currently occupy the 35th place in the FIFA Rankings, but they are likely to drop down in the nearest future. In the recent tackles Ukraine deserved 1:1 draw against Saudi Arabia, broke Slovakia 2:1 and lost 0:2 to Croatia.
Ukraine celebrated 1:0 victory over Japan in the previous head-to-head. Still, at this points the sides demonstrate approximately the same level of football, thus, it is rather difficult to give an advantage to any of them. Therefore, the upcoming battle most probably will not bring a lot of scored goals just alike the first meeting between the rivals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
