2.65Tip and bets
The hosts showed a great game at the start of the selection and won all the matches without any problems, but now they will have to face the strongest opponent of the group, so there is a chance that it will not be so easy here. Australia has already lost a lot of points and will certainly try hard in the match with the leader of the selection. Most likely, the guests will be able to resist the Japanese.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Australia for 1.95

Both teams are great in attack and will probably continue to act in an attacking style. The Australians will definitely try to upset the Japanese goalkeeper for the first time in this selection, and we think they will succeed. We expect many goals in this match.

Bet on corners
We think that the opponents will rely on attack and will be able to earn a lot of corner kicks in this match.
Forecast - total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.80
