Japan vs Saudi Arabia, AFC Asian Cup 2019 Live Streaming Online: How to Get Asia Cup Match Live Telecast on TV & Free Football Score Updates in Indian Time?

Japan and Saudi Arabia meet in a blockbuster Round of 16 game that promises to be a thrill a minute ride, something the neutrals have been waiting patiently so far in the AFC Asian Cup 2019. If you are looking for the online streaming or live telecast details of AFC Asian Cup 2019 match, then you can find the relevant information here.

Being one of the strongest teams in the continent, both these giants know one will have to give up its dream of lifting the trophy come to the end of the game which will be a difficult pill to swallow.

The Saudis went down 2-0 to Qatar which was a reality check of sorts for the Green Falcons who have been playing good football since the World Cup 2018. Japan, on the other hand, may have had not produced the glitz and glamorous football they are known to play but have got the job done in every game.

Japan has a wonderful striker in Yoshinori Muto who has a brilliant game awareness and an eye for goal. He scored against the Uzbeks and was the third striker in as many games for the Blue Samurai who are yet to pin down one a forward.

Yuya Osako can come back in place of Muto with the Werder Bremen star taking a more direct approach in games. Maya Yoshida in defence will have to bring all his experience of playing in the Premier League into play if Japan is to go through. With the likes of Shinji Kagawa gone, Genki Haraguchi is the main playmaker of the side, and he will be the go-to guy for the Japanese midfield.

The Saudi Arabians may not be technically superior to their Japanese counterparts but do know how to win a game of football. Yahya Al Shehri is the team’s creative genius, and if he can bring striker Fahad Al Muwallad into play more often, the Green Falcons have a chance.

Their defending was very average, to say the least against Qatar where they struggled against crosses and set-pieces. They will need to shore up their backline consisting of the likes of Mohammed Al Fatil if they are to go through.

It will be a tough game for both the teams but Japan will nick it in the end with not much to separate them.
