Italy v Japan

Home Win Draw Away Win
Key stats
  • Japan have lost three of their last five matches
Expert verdict
Japan have a talented squad list but were still outclassed by Brazil on the opening night of the Confederations Cup and are likely to find things tough against Italy too. The Azzurri were totally dominant in beating Mexico 2-1 and the Euro 2012 finalists can make it a quickfire win double.
