Japan-USA is an international friendly to be played on Friday 23 September in Dusseldorf, Germany
JAPAN-USA | Friday 2:25pm
Two teams with a place reserved in Qatar. Two teams that have decided to face each other to understand their level ahead of the World Cup. Japan and the USA are playing in Dusseldorf, Germany, mainly to see what they can improve on ahead of the World Cup which is about to kick off. The momentum of the Japanese is excellent: in the last fourteen matches played there have only been two defeats, one of which, by the way, against Brazil, which is undoubtedly one of the favourites, as always, for the final World Cup victory. Of course, there is also another fact that could give a signal: in the various challenges Japan have played in Germany – and not only against the hosts – only two victories have come in nine matches.
The USA in their last fourteen outings have also only lost twice. Of course, there are many challenges against lesser teams in between, but the momentum is undoubtedly positive. Little turnover, in both cases, according to the eve’s indications. Both coaches really intend to try out what is probably the team destined to start the World Cup.

The Prediction
A match of at least one goal per team with the feeling that the USA could pull off the big one. At the moment, the American line-up not only seems to be experiencing a good moment of form, but also seems to be on the rise. In short, a good viaticum for the World Cup.
Japan-US line-up probables
- JAPAN (4-4-2): Schimdt; Nagatomo, Itakura, Yoshida, Ito; Haraguchi, Endo, Kamada; Ito, Asano, Minamino.
- USA (4-3-3): Horvath; Cannon, Carter-Vickers, Long, Robinson; McKennie, Adams, Aaronson; Pulisic, Weah, Wright.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
