Introduction to the Indonesia vs Japan betting tip 2026

The AFC World Cup Qualification, steeped in history, showcases Asia's football evolution. Japan, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia shine as powerhouses while nurturing emerging talents. Spanning multiple stages, teams compete fiercely, culminating in five Asian nations earning a coveted spot in the FIFA World Cup, a stage for their footballing excellence.

The Japan team in the last five matches has achieved more regular results, with a total of 4 wins, compared to the Indonesia team, which won only 1 match.

It was on 24-01-2024 when these two teams last clashed on the field. That match, which ended with the 3-1 win for Japan, was valid for the 2023 season of the Asian Cup.

Indonesia

With none rounds left to the end of the group stage, Indonesia is in place, with point. The team's current position would not qualify them to anything. The team's campaign counts win, draw, and loss.

If the WC Qualification Asia were to conclude now, the Indonesia team would be out of the qualification for the next round, since they are in the position of the group. However, with 2 games still to play, Indonesia can still reach the position 2 on the league table and can get a maximum of 9 points if they win their remaining matches.

Indonesia analysis

Indonesia come from a defeat in the last match. The game against China PR, valid for the WC Qualification Asia, ended with a 2-1. The team coached by T. Shin lined up in a 5-4-1 formation.

The team's defensive line was far from their best in the contest. Asnawi Mangkualam had a terrible performance, failed at crucial moments, and became one of the leading players responsible for the negative result.

Indonesia has an average of 10 shots in the goal mirror per match, and can be considered an extremely offensive team and prone to scoring goals, and of course winning.

Best goalscorer from Indonesia

There are always individualities that stand out in a squad and in the team's attack, Muhammad Ramadhan Sananta has held that position so far in the competition. Serving Indonesia with 4 goals this season, the Attacker has been a key player in winning triumphs.

It should also be noted that 1 of the goals scored by the player were from the penalty spot.

Japan

Japan comes into this game with point, and in place of the WC Qualification Asia, having won game in total, having lost game, plus a total of draw.

If the WC Qualification Asia were to conclude now, the Japan team would be going to the the World Cup, since they are in the position of the group. However, with 2 games still to play, Japan can still reach the position 1 on the league table and can get a maximum of 16 points if they win their remaining matches.

Japan analysis

On the other hand, the visiting team arrives at this match after a draw in the last round. In a dispute valid for WC Qualification Asia, Japan, who used a 3-4-2-1 formation, faced the Australia team with a final score of 1-1.

Teams typically have some control over the opponents if they achieve ball possession above 50%. This is the reason why the Japan team usually guns for an average ball possession of 71.6% to control the game.

Japan is a more offensive team than Indonesia, having 586 attacks vs. 181 from Indonesia, having scored 24 times, in comparison, Indonesia converted into goal 12 times.

Best goalscorer from Japan

If we want to highlight a player in the team's offensive sector until this competition stage, we have to name Ayase Ueda. Japan owes some of their triumphs to the Attacker who scored 8 goals in this season.

It should also be noted that 1 of the goals scored by the player were from the penalty spot.
