The two sides have met on 12 previous occasions and Japan are yet to lose a game against Oman.

The Blue Samurai have nine wins to their name, while three games in the past ended in a share of the spoils.

Their most recent meeting came in the group stage of the 2019 Asian Cup when Genki Haraguchi scored a first-half penalty to give Japan a 1-0 win.
Despite Oman's good run of form, they will be facing a different proposition in Japan. The hosts are one of the bonafide heavyweights of Asian football and have several proven performers on the biggest stages.

The visitors are likely to defend in a low-block and compress the midfield but we are predicting a comfortable victory for Japan.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

两队之前已经进行了12次会面，日本还没有输过一场对阿曼的比赛。

蓝色武士队已经赢得了九场胜利，而在过去的三场比赛中，他们都获得了战利品。

他们最近一次相遇是在2019年亚洲杯的小组赛阶段，当时原口元树(Genki Haraguchi)在上半场罚进一粒点球，帮助日本1-0获胜。
尽管阿曼表现良好，但他们在日本将面临一个不同的命题。东道主是亚洲足球界真正的重量级选手之一，在最大的舞台上有几位表现出色的选手。

客队很可能会采用低档防守，压缩中场，但我们预计日本队会轻松取胜。
