Preview: Brazil vs Japan prediction, odds, where to watch, time | FIFA World Cup 2026

The Brazil vs Japan match will take place at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, tonight.

Brazil take on Japan in a Round of 32 clash in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026 on June 29. The Selecao, who qualified for the knockouts as the Group C winners, are heavy favourites to win the match against Japan, who were the Group F runners-up.

After a disappointing 1-1 draw with Morocco in their opener, Brazil shifted gears with back-to-back 3-0 victories against Haiti and Scotland. Carlo Ancelotti’s side have been impressive in the group stage, even though they have missed the talismanic Neymar for most of their campaign.

Japan, meanwhile, secured a hard-fought 2-2 draw with the Netherlands before securing a 4-0 win over Tunisia. The Samurai Blue finished the group stage with a 1-1 stalemate with Sweden, with goalkeeper Zion Suzuki making several big saves.
