The Socceroos will look to capitalise on the home crowd advantage on Thursday night (March 24) as the Socceroos face Japan at home for the first time in five years.
After being defeated 2-1 away in Japan late last year, victory over a quality Japanese outfit will help the Green and Gold, in front of vocal Australian and Japanese fans in Sydney, will help Graham Arnold's side take a huge step towards automatic qualification for the FIFA World Cup.
