Player to watch: Ayase Ueda
Japan needed no hero against Bahrain, but Ueda still managed to show class by scoring a lovely brace for coach Hajime Moriyasu. A big plus in favor of our favorite Japan vs Australia predictions is the fact that Ueda is on penalty duty for his country. Surely, he will have a few good chances in front of him.
Second player to watch: Harry Souttar
It will be up to Souttar to make things happen for the Socceroos. The defender-in-chief is not only the heart and soul of the backline, but he is also the top scorer for his country in the World Cup Qualifiers, with four goals to his name.
