Semi finals of the Asian cup take place tomorrow. first thing that stands out to me is the price on Japan to beat Saudi Arabia (2.16 at betfair) Having watched the quarters i was much more impressed with Japan than the Saudi's. Japan will have the added advantage of having played all 4 previous matches in Hanoi. Going with the fact that i rate Japan much higher on previous viewing, im going with 2 points on them to win in 90 mins and 4 points on them to qualify
The second semi see's Iraq v Korea Republic. Again having watched the quarters i cant figure out why Iraq are priced so high at 3.65 (betfair)
In the quarterfinal match against Vietnam, Iraq started without several players yet still took the lead after 90 seconds and won 2 - 0 in the end. Korea played Iran in wet difficult conditions and it took penalties to separate the two at the end of 120 scoreless minutes.
I see this game as a 50/50 chance and give Iraq an equal chance of progression at a nice price.
