Asian Nations Cup Japan seeks to continue showing its strength this time against Iraq

According to the correspondent of Fars news agency from Qatar, in the continuation of the matches of the second round of the group stage of the Asian Nations Cup today, apart from the match between Iran and Hong Kong from Group C, two more matches will be played from Group D.

Is the samurai sword a winner against Iraq?

In the most sensitive match of this group, Japan will be the main contender for the cup against Iraq, which, although it is far from its peak, has won this tournament in its record, and with a 3-1 advantage in its first game against Indonesia, it has a good chance to reach the final. It has 16 top teams in Asia.

On the other hand, the Samurais, who defeated Vietnam 4-2 in their first game, are looking to get a decisive result against Iraq in order to confirm their leadership in the group and show their authority to the other contenders even more.

Iraq is currently ranked 7th in Asia and 63rd in the world, and has a 46-place difference with Japan, which is the leader of the continent.

The match between the two teams will be held at Al-Thamamah Stadium at 15:00.

East Asians battle for ascendancy

In the other game of this group, 2 East Asian teams Vietnam and Indonesia will face each other. In the match against Japan, Philippe Trossier’s students played brave football despite the defeat, and if that trend continues against the 27th ranked team in Asia and 146th in the world, they will not have a hard time to win.

On the other hand, after losing in the first match, Indonesia hopes to keep its chance to advance to the next round alive by getting a favorable result against Vietnam. Although this is a very difficult task, if this team loses in this game, considering that they have to face Japan on the last day, their bird will be closed already.

The match between the two teams will be held at Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium at 6:00 p.m.
