Japan vs Panama: Storylines

For the first time in 2020, Japan returned to international play last month and they secured a 1-0 victory over Ivory Coast. They also drew 0-0 against Cameroon.

Next up is a third consecutive home game, this time against Panama who, after beating Costa Rica 0-1 away from home in a friendly, will come off the back of a win. In this calendar year, the visitors are yet to concede a goal and will prove difficult nuts to crack for Japan, even with home advantage. 

In 2018, Japan won thanks to goals by Takumi Minamino, Junya Ito, and an own goal by Union Espanola. Two years later, the two sides will have another encounter and hopefully, this match will have even more goals.
