We are one week away from the 2023 AFC Asian Cup final, as the competition is heating up and a lot of teams still have the chance to win it. Qatar is the defending champion in this edition, but Japan is the clear favorite to win the title.
The 2023 AFC Asian Cup Quarterfinals schedule will have some exciting matchups, as Japan will clash with Iran and South Korea will face Australia. Some of the favorites like Saudi Arabia and Iraq, were knocked out of the Round of 16. The quarterfinals will be played next Friday and Saturday, and the final will be held at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar on February 10.
Here are the updated quarterfinal odds for the winner of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup competition:
We have explained why Japan is the clear favorite to win the title in our 2023 AFC Asian Cup predictions. Their odds haven’t changed a lot since the start of the tournament, as they have the best roster in the competition and are performing well as expected. The second and third favorites, South Korea and Australia, will face each other in the quarterfinals. They are both in the easy half of the draw, so the winner of this matchup will most likely reach the final.
Iran is unlucky to clash with Japan in the next round. They are still unbeaten in this competition and have a pretty good offense, so they might cause an upset in that matchup. Qatar is the host nation of the tournament and the defending champion. They have won all four of their games so far, and they have an easy matchup against Uzbekistan in the quarterfinals, so they have good winning chances.
