Australia vs Japan Dream11 Team

GK

Mathew Ryan

Ryan was able to present a tough challenge last time these 2 teams met as he managed to make 5 important saves which was not enough as he conceded 2 goals that can be worked on for this match.

DEF

Trent Sainsbury

Sainsbury can cover a majority of his contributions with his consistent passing accuracy which can keep him focused on building up chances from the back.

Yuto Nagatomo 

Nagamoto provided an important assist in his last match against Saudi Arabia which was well backed with his 2 chances created and 5 interceptions which can allow him to showcase his experience.

MID

Ajdin Hrustic

Hrustic was able to score an important goal in his last match against Japan with 2 shots on target along with his playmaking skills that makes him a potential game-changer.

Takumi Minamino

Minamino was also able to find the net in his last match against Saudi Arabia which is well backed up with his interceptions which help him create attacking opportunities that make him our prime choice.

ST

Mitchell Duke

Duke managed to score his last goal against China with greater potential to make good use of his limited game time and the fighting spirit that should keep his side in strong contention.

Junya Ito

Ito continues with his consistent form as he has managed to 3 goals and 2 assists in his last 3 qualifier matches which should be useful to build up momentum that makes him our prime choice.

Goalkeeper: Matthew Ryan

Defenders: T. Sainsbury, F. Karacic, Y. Nagamoto, M. Yoshida

Midfielders: A. Hrustic, T Minamino, H. Morita

Attackers: M. Duke, J. Ito, T. Asano

Who will win today’s football match?
