“Both nations mutually respect each other, and it is truly an admiration. The players on both the sides are of quality and thus the game will surely be a quality one and will excite the supporters,” Postecoglou said.
The Socceroos are leading against Japan. They have won times while four have been draws in the last six world cup qualifiers since moving into the AFC. So, the Australians will try to make it three in seven against the Blue Samurai.
The 36-years-old Australia’s evergreen player Tim Cahill can enable his team to win by scoring more goals. Moreover, he has got a good track record against Japan by scoring five goals in eight matches. As of now, he hasn’t played a game till now in this round of WC qualifiers.

“The A-League has just started. He is in excellent condition but requires some match conditioning. Even if he doesn’t start, he will be a key player at some point probably in the later parts of games.”
Japan is just a point behind the group leader Australia and Saudi Arabia. The Blue Samurai is playing to catch up after their opening loss to the UAE. After that, they have won two matches in the row, but Vahid Halilhodzic managed team can’t afford to lose more points if they want to play in another World Cup.
“We will play with courage and probably without Leicester City striker Shinji Okazaki. I won’t stretch on what we lack this time. This is a different situation, and we will play better, mentally. We are going against the best team in Asia, the Asian champions. We are motivated, and everyone is expecting to win it,” Halilhodzic added.
