The Saudi team so far has lost only two points through a goalless draw with Australia, and now seeks to win Japan again after it winning the home match 1-0 in Jeddah on October 7, 2021 to guarantee the direct qualification in case of the win regardless of the results of the Australia-Oman match, especially that the point difference between the Saudi and Japanese national teams will expand to 7 points two rounds before the end of the qualifiers.
