Bahrain - Japan: Form Analysis
Japan are currently 17th in the FIFA world rankings. That makes them the top ranked Asian team and 69 places above their opponents Bahrain. The Japanese team have had great success in previous Asian Cups with four titles being won but none in the last 13 years. They came close at the last Asian Cup held in 2019 but were beaten by Qatar 3-1 in the final. Since those championships,Japan have reached the last 16 in last year's World Cup. To qualify for this last 16 match against Bahrain, Japan finished second behind Iraq in Group D. Their campaign began with a 4-2 win over Vietnam despite trailing 2-1 in the first half. It didn't go so well in their next match as they were beaten 2-1 by Iraq. Qualification was assured though with a 3-1 win over Indonesia. The loss to Iraq was a shock as Japan have won all the other of their past 13 internationals and that includes beating Peru and Germany.
Bahrain are bidding to get to the Asian Cup quarter finals for the first time in their history. This is only the second time that they have managed to make it out of the group stages, the other time being in 2019. Unlike Japan, Bahrain (who have never played in the World Cup finals) did win their group. That didn't look likely to be so when they lost their opening game 3-1 to South Korea. It was a struggle in their second group game too and they needed a 95th minute goal to get a 1-0 win over Malaysia. It was a much more smoother victory in their final group game as they beat Jordan 1-0. WIth South Korea drawing their other two group games, Bahrain finished a point clear of them to win the group. Bahrain had lost three successive internationals before their two recent group wins.

Bahrain & Japan Squad Analysis
Bahrain may continue to be without Amie Benaddi who missed their last match through injury. They made several changes for their final group game and it'll be interesting to see if Abdullah Al-Khalasi, Abdulla Yusuf Helal and Jasim Al-Shaikh retain their places for this match against Japan. The Japanese team may be missing Kaoru Mitoma who was absent from their last game due to an ankle injury. Japan made wholesale changes for their final group game and many are expected to make their return for this match.
