THE PREDICTION
Goals from Yuya Osako and Junya Ito gave Japan a comfortable 2-0 win over China at home the other day. That victory has kept them in the top two and the automatic qualification spots ahead of Australia. Saudi Arabia, under the management of Herve Renard, faced Oman the other day after a very impressive start to the third round of qualification whereby they won five and drew just one of their opening six matches. These are two relatively evenly matched sides, especially with Japan having home advantage, so a draw would appear the likeliest outcome for this one.
