Japan vs New Zealand - WORLD: Friendly International

Japan national team is a fairly joy to watch IMO, with offensive players like Shinji Kagawa and Keisuke Honda, but mostly because of their style, which is focused on attack.

If you wonder about New Zealand just look at their results vs Mexico in the Intercontinental World Cup playoff. Of course their choice of players is limited and it's not their fault, but their squad is very unbalanced, it's full of offensive players. With all those facts in mind goals is what to be expected in this clash.

Japan can easily cover this line on their own if they have a good day infront of goal and idea to New Zealand scoring at least once is not far fetched too, as Japan's defense is not stable at all. Mexico won at home with 5:1 and with 4:2 in New Zealand, and the same amount of goals in this match shouldn't come as a surprise.

Asian bookmakers already dropped all the odds on Japan, so we got only a good value bet here will be over on goals.

New Zeeland without B.Sigmund , T.Lochhead , J.Butler and B.Tuiloma. I can see New Zeeland to score once,but this game have to produce goals to entertain Japan national supporters! 3-1 ,4-1 expected results.

Japan's comes into this match with full squad and Alberto Zaccheroni shoud count on players from all top european teams. This is the first match after New Zealand lost both matches against Mexico last year 2-4 and 1-5. Similar scenario at least four goals is my prediction for this entertainly match.

Tip: Over 2.75 Goals

Odds: 1.81
