Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge will be the occurrence of a few goals. In a friendly game it is usual for the attacks to overlap the defenses, that is to say, it is expected that this one does not escape the rule and that there are some opportunities of goal from side to side. It should be noted that the last two Japan's games ended with a "Over 2.5 Goals" winner.

Analysis Japan

This is the 7th friendly match of the year for the home team, after having registered the following final scores in the previous friendlies: Japan (3‑0) Costa Rica, Japan (4‑2) Paraguay, Switzerland (2‑0) Japan, Japan (0‑2) Ghana, Japan (1‑2) Ukraine and Japan (1‑1) Mali. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 23 conceded. Japan registers 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 home matches for the Friendlies. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 16 of the last 18 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 12 out of 18 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Japan comes to this game motivated after a 3-0 triumph in a friendly against Costa Rica. The Japanese usually play in a 4-4-2, privileging a faster style of playing, channeling their game through the aisles. In this tactical formation, the two players usually chosen to act in the front line are Kobayashi and Minamino. Still, for being a friendly clash, it is guessed that the coach of Japan choose to give lesser used players opportunity.

Confirmed Lineup: Shuichi Gonda, Sei Muroya, Sho Sasaki, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Tomoaki Makino, Genki Haraguchi, Kento Misao, Toshihiro Aoyama, Junya Ito, Yuya Osako, Takumi Minamino.
Coach: H. Moriyasu.

Analysis Panama

The away team plays its 7th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Panama (0‑2) Venezuela, Norway (1‑0) Panama, Panama (0‑0) Northern Ireland, Trinidad and Tobago (0‑1) Panama, Switzerland (6‑0) Panama and Denmark (1‑0) Panama. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 4 Friendlies away matches Panama has a record of 1 win and 3 losses. Their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 16 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 10 out of 16 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Panama comes to this game unmotivated after a 0-2 loss in a friendly against Venezuela. Thus, the away team seems to be going through a bad moment, being that it adds five consecutive defeats. The away team typically plays in a 4-4-2, preferring a slower and more organized game. For this, it can count on the finishing ability of Torres and Blackburn. It should be noted that the national team of Panama presents many weaknesses in all processes.

Confirmed Lineup: Jose Calderon, Eric Davis, Harold Cummings, Francisco Palacios Alleyne, Fidel Escobar, Michael Murillo, Aníbal Godoy, Édgar Bárcenas, José Rodríguez, Gabriel Torres, Abdiel Arroyo.
Coach: T. Christiansen Tarín.
