"Watching their extended purple patch come to an abrupt end last time out as they fell to a 2-0 loss against the USA, Japan will be seeking an immediate response here. Signing off their sensational World Cup qualifying adventure with a rampant 6-0 victory at home against Indonesia back in June, the Samurai Blue cruised their way to top spot in Group C."
"Last seen in front of their own supporters claiming a 2-0 win against China, Japan have remarkably not suffered a sole defeat on home soil since way back in March 2023. Recording a clean sheet in three of their last four outings, Friday's hosts have also gained a reputation for their defensive steel. In fact, Moriyasu's camp have conceded just a single strike in any of their previous five consecutive matchups on home soil."
A stacked international schedule includes England v Wales and the restart of World Cup qualifying for France and Germany. Japan aim to respond after a 2-0 defeat to the USA, having finished top of Group C with a 6-0 win over Indonesia. Japan have suffered only one competitive defeat since February 2024 and remain unbeaten on home soil since March 2023. Japan recorded clean sheets in three of their last four matches and conceded just one goal across five consecutive home fixtures. Paraguay booked World Cup qualification with a gritty 1-0 away win at Peru and carry high morale.
