Competition sides: China VS Japan
Game time: 2024.11.19 20:00
First of all, judging from recent performance, the Chinese team has achieved consecutive victories in the last two World Cup preliminaries, first defeating Indonesia 2:1, and then beating Bahrain 1:0 away. The morale within the team is high. However, the main problem facing the Chinese team is the large number of injured players. Key players such as Wu Lei, Fernando, Alan, etc. are not expected to participate in the game. Baihe Lamu and Micro Motion are also absent. However, according to the latest national football roster, Zhang Yuning still appears on the roster, and Xie Wenneng is back from the ban.
In contrast, there is no doubt about the strength of the Japanese team. With qualification already basically guaranteed, there is a high probability that the Japanese team will not send its main force to participate in this competition. Winning or losing is of little significance to it. But if you put water directly, it would be too conspicuous. If the Chinese team can seize the opportunity and draw, it will be the greatest success.
Historical confrontation records show that the Chinese team and the Japanese team have met as many as 39 times at the national team level. The two sides have a record of 15 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses. The historical records are evenly divided. However, since Li Bing’s two goals helped the Chinese team defeat the Japanese team 2:0 in 1998, the national football team has not defeated the Japanese team for 26 years.
Considering that the Chinese team has recovered recently and achieved two consecutive victories, but facing the powerful Japanese team, there is still a gap in the overall strength of the Chinese team. The Japanese team is more likely to have the upper hand in this game, but the Chinese team’s fighting spirit will not be lost, and they will go all out for the hope of qualifying. Therefore, it is expected that the total number of goals in this game will not exceed 4 goals.
Prediction: 3 goals or less
Score prediction: 0-2, 0-3
