The Japanese media outlet “Football Zone” points out that in the first round of the 18-nation tournament, Australia failed to defeat Bahrain. With Japan set to face Bahrain away, this match could likely determine the direction of Group C. The Japanese team needs to ensure they remain unbeaten in this game.
The Japanese media stated that although the Japanese team defeated China, considered the weakest in Group C, future matches will be more challenging. Strong teams like Australia and Saudi Arabia won’t give up easily, while Bahrain and Indonesia both made gains in their first-round matches and may continue to cause trouble for other teams. The Japanese team might face challenges from these two dark horse teams, Bahrain and Indonesia.
The specific schedule for the second round of matches on September 10 is as follows:
China vs Saudi Arabia
Indonesia vs Australia
Bahrain vs Japan
The Japanese media noted that logically speaking, facing Bahrain away is more challenging than playing against China at home. The Japanese team must prepare with all their might for this match. Considering they also have to play away against Saudi Arabia and host Australia later, it’s crucial for the Japanese team to at least maintain an unbeaten record against Bahrain. The away match between Japan and Bahrain will significantly impact the dynamics of Group C and is worth closely watching.
