We said: Bahrain 0-3 Japan

 Despite a stunning victory on the road last week, lightning is unlikely to strike twice for Bahrain here, as Japan's might may well be too much for them to handle. A 7-0 win over China on matchday one for Japan has set the standard in this group, and Moriyasu's men are resounding favourites to make it two from two. Read more.
