Japan vs Brazil team news
For Japan, defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Yukinari Sugawara will be unavailable. The former’s absence is due to his injury-hit season with Arsenal, while the latter was injured before the match against Paraguay.
Brazil, on the other hand, have been handed a boost with all their players who featured in the Champions League final being fit enough to start the match. However, Arsenal Gabriel Magalhães and Ederson who reportedly missed out against South Korea after feeling pain in their thighs during training earlier in the week are expected to remain out of contention.
Japan vs Brazil prediction
Japan has shown over time that they are a force to be reckoned with, but against Brazil the unthinkable is almost impossible. So we predict another win for Brazil and a 1-3 correct score.
