Japan: form and statistics

Japan will continue their preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Brazil on Tuesday. They enter this game after coming from behind twice to play a 2-2 draw in their last game against Paraguay. Koki Ogawa and Ayase Ueda were both on the scoreboard for the Samurai Blue in the game. They have struggled in their recent games, drawing twice and losing once in their last three friendly matches. However, their form at home is quite different, having remained unbeaten in their previous 20 games at home. 

Japan: Team News and Lineup

No doubt, one of Japan's goals in this game is to break Brazil's longstanding dominance over them. So, they will select their best legs, and I think Zion Suzuki will continue at the goalpost, and Doan and Kubo will provide support for Ogawa in the attack.

Japan Expected Lineup

Zion Suzuki (GK); Seko, Watanabe, Junnosuke Suzuki; Ito, Sano, Tanaka, Nakamura; Doan, Kubo; Ogawa.

👤 Head coach: Hajime Moriyasu

Brazil: form and statistics

Brazil secured a 5-0 win over South Korea in their last game, with Estevao and Rodrygo both scoring a brace, and Vinicius Junior added the fifth goal. They had suffered a 1-0 loss to Bolivia in their last game of the qualifiers, with their place at the World Cup already sealed. They will continue their preparation in a friendly game like this, and their win against South Korea showed how talented the team is. The Selection have now won three, drawn one, and lost two of their last six games. However, their form on the road has been concerning, having remained winless in six of their last eight games on the road.

Brazil: Team News and Lineup

Brazil have been trying their wundekids since the start of their friendly games. Players like Estevao are gaining the needed international experience ahead of next year. Nevertheless, Bento will likely continue in between the sticks, and Militao and Magalhães are expected to continue their partnership in the defence. Casemiro will offer a whole lot of experience in the midfield alongside Bruno Guimarães, while Estêvão, Rodrygo, and Vini are expected to provide attacking support for Cunha.

Brazil Expected Lineup

Bento (GK); Vitinho, Militao, Magalhães, Santos; Guimarães, Casemiro; Estêvão, Rodrygo, Vini; Cunha.

👤 Head coach: Carlo Ancelotti

Japan vs Brazil match prediction, 14 October 2025

It is going to be a tough game for both Japan and Brazil, although it is just a friendly game. The hosts are looking for their first win ever over Brazil, and that alone should propel them to do better in the game. Not only that, Japan have been impressive at home, and the poor form of Brazil on the road is nothing to write home about. With this, I expect a high-scoring game with both sides finding the back of the net.
