Japan have a date with destiny when they play host to Bahrain in the Asia region World Cup qualifiers on Thursday. Playing in Group C Japan, leads with 16 points, 10 ahead of their visitors. Below we have a prediction for the match.
Leading second placed Australia by nine points, a win will guarantee Japan a top-two finish. That way they will be the first nation to qualify for the 2026 World Cup apart from the host nations.
In the last round, Japan beat China 3-1 away for their 10th unbeaten outing. That run includes a 5-0 away win in Bahrain and the Blue Samurai conceded just one goal in the process.
Bahrain started this round of the qualifiers on a high, beating Australia 1-0 away from home. However, they’ve failed to live up to the billing, going winless in all the five World Cup qualifying matches that have followed.
Ahead of this game they were participating in the Gulf Cup of Nations. Four wins in five matches at the competition was good preparation for the tough fixtures ahead. In the most recent game there, they beat Oman 2-1.
The visitors wrapped up the last round of qualifiers disappointed. They conceded in stoppage time, to draw 2-2 with Australia. That marked the third time in five qualification matches that they conceded two or more.

Our Japan vs Bahrain Prediction
Bahrain did well at the Gulf Cup of Nations in January, winning four of their five matches. The challenge gets tougher here, having lost 5-0 at home to Japan. With four games to play, they still have a chance at qualifying but in this Thursday game it will be a big result if they avoid defeat.
Japan have not only dominated the qualifiers, but have also been scoring a lot. In six matches in these qualifiers, they scored 22 goals. Our prediction for Japan v Bahrain is for Japan to win and over 3.5 goals.
