Japan aim to build on a 3-1 win over Uruguay when they face Venezuela, with two late goals helping Hajime Moriyasu’s beat La Celestes. Daichi Kamada, Ayase Ueda, and Takefusa Kubo are all pushing for a place in the starting XI, while Moriyasu has no fresh injury concerns to deal with. Japan have won 80% of their last five home matches, scoring 2.00 goals per game and conceding just 0.40.
Venezuela, meanwhile, head into the game on the back of a 2-0 victory over Iraq. Jesus Ramirez should keep his place in the starting lineup after finding the net in that match, while Oswaldo Vizcarrondo has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip. The Vinotinto have struggled to produce goals away from home, scoring just 0.40 per game across their last five road matches and failing to find the net in four of them.
Considering Japan’s superior home form and Venezuela’s poor attacking numbers, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Japan/Japan and Japan Over 1.5 goals.
This match will be played on Monday 28 September 2026 at 11:25.
