Pre-match review

The Japanese national team just experienced a dramatic 2-2 draw with Paraguay, thanks to a goal in the 90+4 minute of Ayase Ueda. Currently ranked 19th in the world , the "Blue Samurai" have won a ticket to the 8th consecutive World Cup after leading the Asian qualifying round with 23 points after 10 matches, scoring 30 goals and conceding only 3 times. However, recent defensive form is worrying coach Hajime Moriyasu, as the team has conceded 4 goals in the last 2 matches.

However, Japan still maintained an impressive record with a 20-match unbeaten streak at home, including 17 wins. On the other side of the front line, Brazil just destroyed South Korea 5-0, showing the terrible attacking power under coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach helped Selecao keep a clean sheet in 4/5 matches, but away form is still a big question mark when they only won 1 of their last 4 away trips.

Force information

Japan are likely to stick with the same line-up that played against Paraguay, with the back three of Tsuyoshi Watanabe, Junnosuke Suzuki and Ayumu Seko anchoring the back line. In midfield, Leeds United's Ao Tanaka will continue to partner Kaishu Sano (Mainz), creating a dynamic and combative central axis.

On the other side of the front line, Brazil can make a slight adjustment in attack when Matheus Cunha drops back to support Richarlison. Bruno Guimaraes and Casemiro are still the main midfield pair, while Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal) and Eder Militao will take on the role of steel center-back in front of Bento's goal.
