Team Analysis
Japan is showcasing strong performances in the Asian qualification for the World Cup, clearly establishing themselves as favorites. They have won all their matches so far, scoring 14 goals and conceding none in three rounds. Led by players like Takumi Minamino, Japan is efficiently creating and converting opportunities, making them a formidable force in the group.

Australia's journey in the qualification has been less convincing. After a tough start, they finally secured a win against China, but their performance remains shaky. The 3:1 victory against China highlighted their struggles, even against teams perceived as weaker. Australia is searching for stability and will need to improve defensively to challenge Japan.

Head-to-Head
In recent encounters, Japan has dominated Australia, winning 6 of the last 10 matches, while the remaining 4 ended in draws. Australia has yet to secure a victory against Japan in this timeframe, indicating a trend of Japanese superiority in head-to-head matchups.

Prediction
Japan is expected to continue their strong form against Australia. With their potent attack and Australia's defensive vulnerabilities, Japan is likely to score multiple goals. A probable outcome could be a 3:1 victory for Japan. Betting on Japan to score over two goals seems reasonable given their recent scoring streak and Australia's inconsistent defense. Additionally, the match may not feature many corners, with an anticipated total under 9.5.

Pick: Over 2 goals
