Goaloo8 Prediction
The most likely scenario for this challenge will be the existence of several goals. It is true that a balanced match is expected, however, the two countries' main characteristic is to provide very open matches, where goal opportunities arise in large numbers. It should be noted that all of Japan's games in this Asian Cup ended with more than two goals in the late 90's. In this way, a well-fought match is expected, where both teams will invest a lot in the offensive moment.
