Iraq vs Japan Prediction 13 June 2017
On June 13 2017 at 13:25 in the upcoming game of the 8th round of the World Cup qualification at the Shahid Dastgerdi Stadium Iraq national team is going to play against Japan national team.
The current qualification is expectedly not a successful one for Iraq. They were considered one of the outsiders of their group and they proved to be the ones in the matches they have already played. There have already been 7 rounds of the current qualification stage and the teams only gained 4 points which doesn’t let it get closer to the promotion zone.
As for one of the most successful and experienced teams of the Asian continent, Japan, they seem to be doing pretty well in the current qualifiers, even though they didn’t manage to avoid a few mistakes. After their 7 matches played Japan have 16 points and take the first place in the standings of their group with 14:5 goal difference. The victory in the upcoming game would let them outplace they closest rivals by at least three points.
The teams have already played 8 games against each other since 1993 and Japan have a huge advantage according to the results to them as they won 7 matches. Last time they met was in the current qualification and Japan won 2:1 again. We think that Japan are obviously stronger and more experienced than their competitors and they will definitely try their best to use their chance to become the absolute leaders of their qualification group.
