Is the bookmakers’ assessment correct that there is a clear favorite in the WBSC group stage match between Japan and Australia? More yes than no. One of the main candidates for the final title against a perennial outsider – this is a short description that the match deserves, for which a prediction has been published especially for you.
Japan
Japan approached the recent competitions in an exceptional mood, as the latest results are admirable. The team has been showing exceptional baseball for a long time, not slowing down even in friendly matches. In total, the Asians have ended 18 consecutive matches in their favor, recording 102 points. Usually, the “red-whites” focus primarily on attack, repeatedly forcing opponents to capitulate under constant pressure.
Australia
Australia, on the other hand, finds itself in a deep crisis, without aiming to conquer significant heights. The team has some quality performers, but doesn’t have enough resources to dominate the arena. The Oceanians suffered five consecutive defeats, which certainly did not add confidence in their abilities. Even in the future, children will hardly have an easy life. Especially considering the fact that an inconvenient draw does not allow you to work at full capacity during the events.
Predictions from the editorial team
In this match, in our humble opinion, Japan will be a walk in the park. The massive support of the local public, excellent physical preparation, splendid emotional state of mind, as well as extraordinary motivation – all these factors indicate that the logical choice for the match is the victory of the representatives of Asia with a handicap of -2.5.
