In this Asian Games round, Uzbekistan U23 and Japan U23 meet in almost identical shape. Both are on a five-match winning run and both closed their last match with a comfortable win. Uzbekistan U23 came through their last match with a 3-0 win, with a defence that has been tight throughout the tournament, while Japan U23 also won 1-0 in their last match, though overall their play looks to create slightly more chances, with more possession and more shots on target over their last ten games. If Japan U23 score first, the game is likely to force Uzbekistan U23 to open up and trade blows, which would open space for Japan U23 to play on the counter more comfortably, and it tends to end with a Japan U23 win.
