Personal analysis: Japan's lineup is currently ranked first in Asia. On the offensive end, Kaoru Mitoma, Takumi Minamino, and Junya Ito all have strong offensive organization capabilities. In addition, their teammates are all main players in the top five leagues, and their passing and midfield control capabilities are relatively strong. Endo Wataru and Morita Eimasa in the team's midfield have also performed well in the club. They are relatively stable in forward attack and interception. Relatively speaking, the lineup of the back line will be slightly weaker, but it is completely sufficient to play against Asian teams. Bahrain is an offensive team, but the individual strength of the forwards is not strong. Except for Mahon on the left, who has a certain ability to break through and advance with the ball, the rest are only the center forward Humaidan with a slightly better speed. Most of the attacks on the right are carried out by the full-back Emmanuel. The team pays more attention to the defense and control of the midfield area. In the positional battle, the team's defense is pretty good, but the problem with the regional defense is that it is easy to leave gaps when the opponent's passing speed increases. When the team encounters opponents with strong passing and control capabilities, the front of the goal can't keep up with the rhythm.

The Japanese team currently only needs to win one more victory to advance, and the situation of Bahrain and the remaining four teams is not clear. If Bahrain can keep a draw in this game, it will greatly increase the team's chance of qualifying. Bahrain is also weak in counterattack ability, especially when the Japanese team's interception ability in the midfield area is relatively strong, it is difficult to form a single opportunity, and Bahrain's mid- and long-pass counterattack ability in the backcourt is not strong. In this match, Japan's 2.5-goal handicap is quite normal. According to Japan's previous playing style, there is a greater chance that they will win this match, and the score is expected to be 3-0 or 4-0.
