After surprisingly defeating Germany in their opening World Cup match, Japan did not stop to amaze as their last game ended in a loss versus Costa Rica, with the score after the final whistle being 0:1. In their last 10 encounters, Japan’s performance has not been greatly affected by the factor of playing at home or away. These resulted in four home wins and four away wins. Two of the previous 10 games the country took part in ended in draws. Of their last five games, two resulted in over 2.5 goals, and two had both teams scoring. During that period, Japan managed to keep two clean sheets while failing to score in two matches. The team’s preceding five encounters concluded with nine goals in total.
