Prediction on Iran vs Japan
Iran and Japan have met only once, and Japan won by a large margin. Japan is known for its style of possession-based play. Iran traditionally has a strong and organized midfield and defense, which could counter Japan’s style, making it a tight contest. We predict a score line of Iran 0:1 Japan. Much of this match could hinge on the performance of key players.
Prediction: Japan to win
The last match between the two sides ended with three goals scored. Both teams have been involved in low-scoring games in the AFC Asian Cup, as over 75% of their matches have had less than three goals in total. This is mainly due to their defensive approach and lack of creativity in the final third. We predict at least two goals in this fixture.
Betting Tip: Over 1.5
