Australia will head to Tokyo full of confidence after an impressive 3-1 win against Oman in Qatar, a team that beat Japan 1-0 at the Saitama Stadium in September.
All the pressure will be on Japan, who lost their most recent match 1-0 to Saudi Arabia, and they already sit six points behind group leaders Australia and the Saudis after three matches.
The Socceroos have never beaten Japan on home soil and haven’t tasted success against the Blue Samurai since 2009.
Australia have no fear about playing on the road with 10 of their 11 consecutive wins coming on the road, with the team not able to play at home due to COVID-19 regulations.
