This was their first loss since their 1-0 defeat to Saudi Arabia in October last year. The Blue Samurai will play their final friendly clash today and eye a winning return before the World Cup campaign.

With the likes of Germany, Spain and one of Costa Rica/New Zealand in their group; a solid start and preparation is key.

Prediction: Japan 2-0 Ghana

Japan will be itching to get back into form before the World Cup begins and with a home clash against Ghana, this is the only objective.

We expect an intense clash given the preparation needed by both sides but Japan has the edge in terms of home crowd and quality.

Due to this, we see the Blue Samurai gain all three points.
