Both Teams Capable of Finding the Net

We like the odds of 1.95 when it comes to the BTTS Yes selection. Australia and Japan should be able to net at least once and the Both Teams to Score market provides a good angle.

1-1 Draw in Previous H2H Encounter

Australia beat China 2-0 away in their last game. The Socceroos enjoyed 51% possession and had three shots on target in the World Cup qualifier, with Jackson Irvine and Nishan Velupillay on the scoresheet.

Japan played out a 0-0 draw against Saudi Arabia in their previous game, with this being at home in the World Cup qualifier. The Samurai Blue dominated possession with 78% of the ball and won the shots on goal 2-0.

Japan have not lost to Australia in the past three meetings, with their last encounter ending in a 1-1 draw. The previous 3 H2H games have featured two Japan victories and one draw.

Key Australia vs Japan stats:

Australia vs Japan Prediction

There’s every reason to wager on both teams finding the net, with the BTTS Yes selection attractively priced for this World Cup qualifying encounter. You can land 1.95 that both teams score a goal.

There’s an opportunity to go for a slightly different bet at similar odds. Over 2.5 Goals means you can land a return if three goals are scored and you don’t need both teams to score.

BTTS Yes Probability

According to the betting sites, our pick has a 51.3% chance of landing a return. In our opinion, there’s actually a probability of success between 55-60%. This is why we can recommend this wager.

Tight Affair in the Eyes of the Bookies

This World Cup qualifying encounter sees Australia available at 2.70 and Japan priced at 2.80 for the victory. If you want to back the game to finish level, the bookies have odds of 3.10 about the draw.

If you want to side with Australia winning against Japan, then the -0.25 on the Asian Handicap is one potential option. You can land 2.05 and also have the insurance of half stake returns in the event of a draw.

The contest is forecasted to be fairly low-scoring and that is highlighted by Under 2.5 Goals available at the shortest odds. If you think both teams will score, then BTTS Yes could appeal. Otherwise, you can back BTTS No as an alternative.

The top football betting sites cover World Cup qualifying matches in serious depth and there are hundreds of markets. We recommend scanning through the various bets before picking out the best angle.
