Syria vs Japan prediction – 21st November 2023

Here is our Syria vs Japan prediction, as the two teams who won their opening group B games go head-to-head in World Cup qualification. It looks set to be a very one-sided affair as Japan are top of the group having just won 5-0 against Myanmar and sitting 75 spots above their opponents in the official FIFA rankings.

Betting tips for Syria vs Japan

Japan to win both halves

• Japan have been leading at half time in each of their previous five games
• Japan has won all of their previous seven matches

Japan to score 4+ goals

Syria vs Japan latest odds

The theory of Japan being the overwhelming favourite is clearly backed up by bookmakers, with some offering odds as little as 1/9 for the dominant Asian country to come out on top and pick up another important three points.

Syria vs Japan predicted lineups

Syria

Predicted Lineup – Alma (GK), Oues, Krouma, Midani, Kerdagil, Ham, Osman, Maowas, Khribin, Ramadan, Al Soma

Japan

Predicted Lineup – Maekawa (GK), Maikuma, Watanabe, Taniguchi, Nakayama, Kamada, End, Ito, Minamino, Kubo, Hosoya

Confirmed lineups will appear here around 60 minutes before kickoff.

Player to watch: Takefusa Kubo

In his 28 appearances for Japan, Kubo has only lost five times with his country, and after being fully rested against Myanmar, he could be set tor un rings around a pretty sorry and poor Syria defence. The Japanese winger has been in scintillating form for Real Sociedad this campaign registering eight goal involvements across all competitions and his international form is pretty similar.

Kubo's last five appearances has seen him score one goal while teeing his teammates on five separate occasions, and after seeing some of his teammates pushing for the same position as him in the team star against Myanmar, Jubo should be eager to put Syria to the sword on Tuesday.

Syria vs Japan prediction – The final word

Japan's incredible form which has seen them beat the likes of Germany, Tunisia and Canada this year should be enough reason to back them to pick up a straightforward victory, but also the fact they rested so many top-class players earlier this week suggests it could be another high-scoring affair.
