apan will be aiming to secure a ticket for Brazil while Australia will be desperate for points when the two teams square off in a crucial World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
Japan leads Group B with 13 points and can secure a fifth straight World Cup appearance with a draw. Even if they lose, Alberto Zaccheroni's side could book its place in its last qualifier against Iraq on June 11 in Qatar.
Australia heads into the match out of the automatic qualifying positions and needs a positive result to re-ignite its campaign which has been lackluster so far. Holger Osieck's side is third on six points and is coming off a 2-2 draw at home to Oman in March. In Group A, South Korea faces last-place Lebanon in Beirut.
