The Samurai Blue are coming in after securing a 2-2 draw against Paraguay in their last fixture. It was a close fixture and the Japan national football team scored a late equaliser to avoid a defeat.

They have work to do to improve all departments at the moment. Even though they will be at home for their upcoming fixture, it is not going to be an easy game for them.
