Japan's current form is LDWDW, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches. The team's goals scored this season are 7, while their goals conceded are 3, resulting in a +4 goal difference.

Currently, S. Machino and T. Kubo are sidelined due to injury, which will impact the team's lineup for their next match.
