The group stages in the Asian World Cup qualifiers get underway on early Thursday morning (GMT), and Will Burns has identified the three great bets giving us the best chance for profiting through the following opening games.  Prices published as of time of posting.


🇸🇾 SYRIA vs. JAPAN 🇯🇵

Tuesday 21st November – 14:45 GMT

⚽️ Japan to score 4 or more goals

💷 1.5pt

Best Odds: 2.88 at Sky Bet

Despite a somewhat weakened lineup in their initial qualifier against Myanmar, Japan initiated their campaign on a high note last Thursday, securing a comprehensive 5-0 victory. This win marks the sixth time in the last seven games where the Japanese team has scored four or more goals.

Their upcoming match on Tuesday afternoon, set against Syria (ranked 92nd in the FIFA World Rankings), will be contested on neutral ground in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, presenting a more challenging test for Hajime Moriyasu’s squad. Syria hasn’t conceded four or more goals since August 2019, in a 4-3 defeat to Palestine. Nevertheless, Japan’s remarkable offensive record cannot be overlooked.

Moriyasu, the Japanese coach, expressed dissatisfaction with his team’s finishing in the previous match, expecting an improved performance in this game. This anticipation works in favor of our bet. Sky Bet is offering appealing odds of 2.88 for Japan to score four or more goals. Despite missing key players like Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda from Celtic and Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma due to injuries, the Samurai Blue possess considerable firepower.

Feyenoord’s Ayase Ueda, who bagged a hat-trick in the previous gam, will lead the frontline. Other contributors include Daichi Kamada from Lazio, Ritsu Doan from SC Freiburg, Junya Ito from Stade Reims, Takuma Asano from Bochum, and Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad, all of whom have recently found the net for Japan in international matches.

Good luck!
