Brazil continues their tour of the east this week as they lock horns with Japan in an international friendly on Monday. The Selecao have been in excellent form and are the favorites to win the game.
Japan played well last year and qualified for the 2022 World Cup. The Asian giants stunned Paraguay with a 4-1 victory last year and will have to work hard to get a similar result in this match.
Brazil, on the other hand, has climbed to the top of the ConMEBOL qualifiers and has an impressive team. The away team defeated South Korea 5-1 this week and will be confident ahead of the game.
Takehiro Tomiyasu is currently injured and has not joined the Japan squad this week. Yukinari Sugawara scored a hat-trick against Paraguay last week and was ruled out.
Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and Ederson Moraes are yet to reach full potential and will not feature in this match. Alisson Becker, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Fabinho have been given a break from facing South Korea and will be available for selection.
Japan vs Brazil Predicted XI
Japan Predicted XI (4-3-3): Daniel Schmidt; Miki Yamane, Shogo Taniguchi, Maya Yoshida, Junya Ito; Daichi Kamada, Ao Tanaka, Wataru Endo; Kyogo Furuhashi, Takumi Minamino, Takuma Asano
