Japan Bahrain betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of a few goals. It is expected to be a game controlled by Japan, however, Bahrain, in addition to having some threats to pose to the opposing defence, still needs to respond to their current form, having secured only one win in six games played in this qualification phase. It is worth noting that the ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ market has been a winner in 75% of Japan's matches in this competition.
