Thailand and Japan meet in the AFC World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday.

Japan's qualifying campaign got off to a rough start as the team lost 2-1 at home against the United Arab Emirates. Team legend Keisuke Honda got things off to a great start for the team with a goal in the 11th minute but the defense imploded nine minutes later to let the United Arab Emirates tie the game. The game was then decided by a penalty in the second half.

Japan is looking to qualify for its sixth straight World Cup. The team has only gotten out of the group stage on two occasions in its history with a ninth place finish in 2002 its best result thus far.

Thailand lost its first game 1-0 against Saudi Arabia. Thailand has never participated or qualified for the World Cup throughout its history.

Prediction

Japan is the clear-cut favorite and should speed away with a comfortable 3-0 win.

Start Time, Date, Location

Thailand and Japan kick off at 8:15 a.m. EDT on Tuesday.
