Australia vs Japan Prediction, Betting Tips, Lineups & Odds | 05 Jun 2025

Both Teams Capable of Finding the Net

We like the odds of -105 when it comes to the BTTS Yes selection. Australia and Japan should be able to net at least once and the Both Teams to Score market provides a good angle.

1-1 Draw in Previous H2H Encounter

Australia beat China 2-0 away in their last game. The Socceroos enjoyed 51% possession and had three shots on target in the World Cup qualifier, with Jackson Irvine and Nishan Velupillay on the scoresheet.

Japan played out a 0-0 draw against Saudi Arabia in their previous game, with this being at home in the World Cup qualifier. The Samurai Blue dominated possession with 78% of the ball and won the shots on goal 2-0.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Japan have not lost to Australia in the past three meetings, with their last encounter ending in a 1-1 draw. The previous 3 H2H games have featured two Japan victories and one draw.

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

Tight Affair in the Eyes of the Bookies

This World Cup qualifying encounter sees Australia available at +170 and Japan priced at +180 for the victory. If you want to back the game to finish level, the bookies have odds of +210 about the draw.

If you want to side with Australia winning against Japan, then the -0.25 on the Asian Handicap is one potential option. You can land +105 and also have the insurance of half stake returns in the event of a draw.

The contest is forecasted to be fairly low-scoring and that is highlighted by Under 2.5 Goals available at the shortest odds. If you think both teams will score, then BTTS Yes could appeal. Otherwise, you can back BTTS No as an alternative.
