Following their invitation to the 2019 Copa America, Japan will be hoping to best prepare for that tournament beginning with this upcoming friendly against Trinidad & Tobago.
Japan haven’t played many games since their Asian Cup heartbreak last February. A 3-1 defeat in the final against Qatar denied the Japanese their first title since 2011.
In the two games following that defeat, Japan went on to lose 1-0 against Colombia before claiming a slender 1-0 win over Bolivia.
Trinidad and Tobago, on the other hand, come into this game on the back of some very close defeats. Since their shock win over the United States, Trinidad have lost their last three games – all by a 1-0 score line.
Their latest defeat came at the hands of Wales just a few months ago. In that game it did seem like the hosts had underestimated Trinidad who, did their best to match the European side for the full 90 minutes.
Japan have to be careful not to make that same mistake when the two nations meet this Wednesday.
Nevertheless, the recommendation is to back a home win by a margin of two goals. The price on that outcome is currently 11/4 which is a lot better than the outright price of 1/5.
