Japan hosts Vietnam in round 10 of the World Cup qualification third stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 29th at Saitama Stadium (Saitama)
The Japanese national team has guaranteed a trip to Qatar, and now it should just put a beautiful end to this qualification. Blue Samurais lost two out of three starting games, but then a winning streak began. It already has six victories in a row, and Japan will probably continue it. The goal difference in this winning streak is 10-1, and the Japanese conceded only from the Australians but beat them 2-1. The remaining five games were won with a score of 1-0 or 2-0. In the previous ten years, the Japanese and Vietnamese crossed paths three times, and Blue Samurais gained three victories with a score of 1-0. There is a high probability that the Japanese team will be able to win with a clean sheet again.

The Vietnamese were initially the obvious outsiders of this group, and now they are in last place in the standings. The team has the worst defense at this stage of the Asian qualification. Golden Star Warriors conceded 18 goals in nine matches. In the previous five rounds, the Vietnamese gained a 3-1 victory over China. But the remaining four matches ended in whitewashes. Golden Star Warriors managed to score a consolation goal in almost every game at the start of this qualification stage, but then they began to lose without scoring. Well, it is highly likely that the Vietnamese will lose the upcoming match with the same outcome.
In my opinion, we should bet on a whitewash for the hosts. The Japanese have significantly improved their game in defense, and the Vietnamese lost four out of five previous matches without scoring a single goal. Japan will probably win with a clean sheet.
Prediction for the match: Japan to win with a clean sheet
