Gameday in Tashkent for the game between Japan & Tajikistan.

Japan is ranked 2 with 1 win & 1 draw for 2 goals scored & 1 goal conceded.

Tajikistan is ranked 4 with 2 losses for 0 goal scored & 7 goals conceded.

Japan will be without Fujito.

Must win situation here for Japan and they want to win by big to try to get the first place in case of a win of Saudi over UAE.

On the big clash of this group against Saudi they played really good, they surprised me, I expected them to let possession to Saudi but in reality they dominated the game. They got 1,28 xG against 1,07 xG.

Tajikistan showed really nothing good in this campaign, destroyed by Saudi who had 69% possession, 23 shots to 6 and 2,52 xG.

As they have nothing to play on this game, Tajikistan will give time to bench players so players will be even weaker than usually.

Japan isn’t my favourite U23 team of this campaign but clearly they are much stronger than Tajikistan.

They should not get any problems to make difference with players as Saito, Suzuki, Hosoya & Yamada to replace the suspended player.

I expect 3-0 or 4-0.

日本队和塔吉克斯坦队在塔什干的比赛日。

日本队以1胜1平、进2球丢1球的成绩排名第二。

塔吉克斯坦排名第4,0进7丢2负。

日本将没有藤本。

日本必须赢得这里的局势，他们想要大胜，以便在沙特战胜阿联酋的情况下获得第一名。

在小组赛对阵沙特的比赛中，他们踢得非常好，他们让我大吃一惊，我本以为他们会把控球权让给沙特，但实际上他们控制了比赛。他们得到了1,28 xG和1,07 xG。

塔吉克斯坦在这场比赛中没有表现出任何好的表现，被拥有69%控球率的沙特摧毁，23次射门6次，2,52 xG。

由于他们在这场比赛中没有什么可打的，塔吉克斯坦将给替补球员时间，所以球员将比平时更弱。

日本不是我最喜欢的U23球队，但显然他们比塔吉克斯坦强得多。

他们应该不会有任何问题来改变球员，比如斋藤、铃木、细谷和山田来替换被停赛的球员。

我预计3-0或4-0。
