Australia - Japan: betting tip for the World Cup qualification match

In the ninth round of the third stage of qualification for the 2026 World Cup, the leaders of Group C will play on June 5. Will Australia be able to take some points in the confrontation with Japan? The answer is in our betting tip. What is the best bet?

Command Analysis

Australia

Current form
Australia is fighting for the opportunity to directly qualify for the World Cup. The team scored 13 points in eight matches and currently occupies the second place in Group C. There are two rounds left before the end of the qualifying stage. The closest pursuer in the person of Saudi Arabia manages to be ahead by three points. A victory over the Japanese national team guarantees the Australians entry to the World Cup, but the Japanese have not lost a single match in the qualifying campaign, so it will be very difficult to take three points even on their own field.

Japan

Current form
As expected before the start of the qualifying campaign, Japan easily guaranteed its participation in the World Cup in advance. In the eight rounds played, the land of the rising sun has not suffered a single defeat — six wins and two draws. Two rounds before the end of the qualifying campaign, the guests are out of reach, so no one will take offense at them if they do not play to the limit of their abilities in the upcoming match.

Despite the fact that Japan has guaranteed itself victory in the group and entry to the World Cup, the national team will not close in its penalty area. It is possible that not the most combat-ready squad will come out for the match, but by playing an open game, it is unlikely that the Japanese will finish the match with the number zero on the scoreboard, but at the same time Australia is powerfully motivated to score points. We are waiting for goals from two teams in this match.
Our betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.97
