United Arab Emirates
Team Emirates is after five games in fourth place, gaining nine points. The situation in the table is still confusing, there is no clear favorite. For example, the leading Saudi Arabia ahead of all one point, as well as the Japanese national team. On the account of the UAE, home victories over Iraq (2: 0) and Thailand (3: 1), as well as guest success in the country of the Rising Sun. Lost the Arab national team at home Australia (0: 1) and away from the Saudis (0: 3).

Japan
The Japanese are still the second, but, as already mentioned above, this position is not yet clearly defined, any misfire will lead to serious rearrangements. Starting the tournament in defeat from the Emirates, more “samurai” did not lose, losing points only in the away match with Australia (1: 1). All other members of the group are beaten – Iraq (2: 1) and Saudi Arabia (2: 1) at home, as well as visiting outsiders from Thailand (2: 0).

Statistics and personal meetings

There were few official games between the national teams – apart from this qualifying round two years ago there was a match in the Asian Cup quarter-finals, where the Japanese were stronger in the penalty shoot-out after the 1-1 draw.

In the away games, the Japanese have scored the first eight matches in a row.

Houses of the UAE won in view of friendly matches in 11 out of 15 games.

Forecast

Both teams have good statistics, but for the sake of justice it should be noted that the level of rivals in Asia is low, and there are few serious opponents. The situation in the group is complicated, which in itself does not foreshadow open football, because in case of failure the chances of each of the rivals will seriously fall. We believe that the game will be tense, the difference in the class of Arabs compensate for self-sacrifice, and we will not have serious results, because the Japanese are unlikely to force events either.
