Match to be a Draw

These two teams drew when they met in Japan earlier in the qualifying campaign and backing the draw looks a good bet here. A draw could be a decent result for the Socceroos and would afford them a draw against Saudi Arabia in their next match. Japan have had the upper hand over Australia in recent meetings but the fat they have already qualified could see changes made.
