Our pre-match preview
Brazil are likely to dominate possession and look to stretch Japan with quick switches out wide, while Japan will probably sit in a compact mid-block and hunt for turnovers in transition. Expect a team-shape battle rather than a helter-skelter opening.
The key duel is Brazil's wide attackers against Japan's fullbacks, where space behind will decide how dangerous the visitors become. Japan's ability to press in coordinated bursts will determine whether Brazil settle or get drawn into a scrappy game.
