Goal-keeper
S.Gonda (8.5 Cr) can play his part in this match as he understands the strength of the opposition which can allow him to focus on a clean sheet in this match.
Defenders
M.Yoshida (9.0 Cr) was able to keep his place with great performances in the last 3 games where he was able to win interceptions and provide assists which could keep him in good form.
T.Tomiyasu (8.5 Cr) was able to keep most of the ball possession along with his ability to move ahead and trackback if called upon which can help the team create counter-attacking chances.
A.Behich (8.5 Cr) has the ability to make his presence known with his attacking capabilities that earned him an assist in their recent match that is just a bonus to his defensive capabilities.
H.Souttar (8.5 Cr) has been consistent the last 2 games with his ability to score goals and create shots along with his tackles and interceptions.
Midfielders
T.Asano (8.5 Cr) holds great potential but was contained by SAU in their last match which can keep him focused to retain his form in this contest that makes him our prime choice.
A.Hrustic (9.0 Cr) has also managed to retain his form from last season as he can create chances in attack and works hard to keep the ball with his defense that has earned him 1 assist in the qualifiers.
J.Irvine (8.5 Cr) has managed to perform consistently in the last 2 matches with 1 assist and 1 goal that can keep him pumped for an equally challenging performance.
Forwards
T.Minamino (10 Cr) is the highest goal scorer for his team in the qualifiers and should be able to make the most of his appearance ever since his injury in the last match.
Y.Osako (10 Cr) has scored 4 goals in the last 3 matches which should allow him to play a more attacking role in this encounter which can allow him to find his consistent form.
K.Furuhashi (9.0 Cr) has 3 goals and 3 assist in the last 4 matches that could allow Japan to focus on their attacking potential in this match.
Captain And Vice-Captain
