Japan arrives with confidence after an impressive group stage and recent strong performances against elite opponents.

TEAM FORM ANALYSIS

Brazil has shown excellent balance throughout the tournament. The team has defended well while creating numerous scoring opportunities through quick passing, wide attacks, and individual brilliance.
