The Asian Tigers have been phenomenal in recent games, winning all five matches and scoring more than three times in all of them. Japan head here following their (4-1) victory over a youthful Canadian team. The Blue Samurai found the back of the net three times before the break and got a goal in the second half to make it four. Canada got a consolation goal in the 89th minute as Japan carted away the maximum points.

Since the defeat against Colombia, Japan have won five consecutive games and will be poised to make it six here.

The Atlas Lions’ three-game unbeaten run ended as they were thrashed by South Korea. Tunisia conceded more than three goals for the first time since their defeat against Brazil. The shocking loss was one of their worst performances in a long time, as all goals were conceded after the break.

Tunisia are among the few sides that’ll play in the AFCON Tournament next year after picking up thirteen points from a possible eighteen in the qualifying round. Tunisia boasts of the best defence in the competition, conceding just once. The Atlas Lions have lost twice in their previous seven international friendly games.

Japan have won twice, while Tunisia have won once over their previous three meetings. The Atlas Lions were tactically defeated against South Korea as they failed to muster a shot on target. Tunisia were totally exposed against the Asian side, and they must be well prepared to face a more aggressive attack tomorrow. On the other hand, Japan were electric against Canada, scoring four goals for the fourth consecutive game. Japan have been one of the most in-form sides of late, and with the fact that they play on their ground, it could be worse for the visitors. Former Arsenal man Asano will partner Nakamura and Minamino up front. They’ll torment Tunisia defenders, who were totally off against South Korea; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.60.

We expect Japan to get a halftime victory here for 1.84.

This encounter might witness more than a goal before the break for 2.48.

Good luck!
