Japan Paraguay betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This friendly should be very open and with few chances of goal for both sides since both national teams enjoy attacks with some deficiencies. Still, it is anticipated that the teams will fine-tune strategies for upcoming matches, especially Japan, which will take part in the next World Cup in 2018. Thus, betting on a game with few goals is of enormous value.

Preview
Japan and Paraguay meet at Tivoli Stadion Tirol, for a friendly match. This will be the 5th friendly match of the year for Japan, after the ones against Switzerland, Ghana, Ukraine and Mali. As for Paraguay, this is the 2nd friendly match of the year, after the previous friendly match against United States. There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 04‑09‑2010, the match ended with the final score: Japan (1‑0) Paraguay. Paraguay registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Japan

This is the 5th friendly match of the year for the home team, after having registered the following final scores in the previous friendlies: Switzerland (2‑0) Japan, Japan (0‑2) Ghana, Japan (1‑2) Ukraine and Japan (1‑1) Mali. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 10 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Japan has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4.

They haven’t won any of the last 4 matches for this competition. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 15 of the last 16 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 11 out of 16 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Japan head into this game with a 2-0 loss to Switzerland, adding the third defeat in preparation matches. It is important to remember that Japan prepare for their participation in the 2018 World Cup. Without great surprises, coach Akira Nishino should play in the usual 4-2-3-1 privileging ball possession and organized attacks, mainly through the runners. In some moments of the clash the team should act in a more direct way. Hasebe is one of the most important players in Japan, being very important in the defensive balance. There are no weight absences for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Masaaki Higashiguchi, Naomichi Ueda, Wataru Endo, Gen Shoji, Gotoku Sakai, Gaku Shibasaki, Shinji Kagawa, Hotaru Yamaguchi, Takashi Inui, Yoshinori Muto, Shinji Okazaki.
Coach: H. Moriyasu.

Analysis Paraguay

The away team plays its 2nd friendly match of the year, after having faced United States, in a friendly that ended with the final score: United States (1‑0) Paraguay. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Paraguay has won 3 and lost 7. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The Paraguayan national team come to this game with a 1-0 defeat against the United States of America, thus totaling the second consecutive loss in several competitions. Unlike their opponents, Paraguay will not be present at the 2018 World Cup. In this preparation game against Japan, coach Gustavo Morínigo should play in 4-2-3-1 with Santander being the most offensive reference of the team. Still the national team of Paraguay should opt for a more cautious strategy since the opponent has some players of technical competence. It seems that Víctor Cáceres will be absent due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Justo Villar, Gustavo Gómez, Alan Benítez, Junior Alonso, Fabián Balbuena, Óscar Romero, Richard Ortiz, Richard Sánchez, Angel Lucena, Federico Santander, Antonio Bareiro.
Coach: D. Garnero.
