The teams of Iran and Japan will play in the quarter finals of the Asian Cup on February 3rd. According to bookmakers, the Japanese team is the favorite for the future confrontation; their victory is given odds of 1.86 versus Iran's 4.2, and a draw is estimated at 3.45. Both teams have not yet faced strong opponents in either the group stage or the round of 16, so this will be the first test for coaches and players.
The Iranian team easily qualified from the group in first place, beating the teams of the UAE, Hong Kong and Palestine. The teams are so weak that there is no point in evaluating Iran based on them except for one interesting point that we will use in the future. This is what Iran won in all 1st halves of the tournament, including the 1/8 finals. In all games, Iran tries to dominate from the first moment and look for its chances, but whether Japan will allow this series to continue is a big question. Of the key players, it is worth noting Taremi, who was sent off in the 1/8 finals and will miss a very important game with the Japanese, so the game will have to be rebuilt with Azmun as the main attacking force. And I strongly doubt that Iran will win again in the first half, but the fact that they will not lose and score is easy to believe.
The Japanese national team, as one of the main favorites to win the tournament, surprised many times with too many goals conceded. They conceded in all the games in the tournament, and if you take all the team’s matches recently, the Japanese have already conceded 5 matches in a row. Moreover, just look at the teams that opened the gates of the Japanese national team: Jordan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bahrain, Iraq (which generally scored 2 goals and beat Japan). So even without Taremi, Iran has every chance to compete with the Japanese on the football field. In terms of attack, Japan is much better - 11 goals scored in 4 matches, and the Total Over 2.5 rate was in the team's last 8 games. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the Japanese team won in the 1st half in 8 of the last 10 matches. As we see, both teams often try to create a handicap for themselves already in the 1st half, and we will play on this.
Sportwars.net forecast for the match Iran - Japan, Asian Cup: Total Over 0.5 in the 1st half, odds 1.53.
