About this match

With four points, Japan takes the field needing only a draw to secure a spot in the round of 16 — and a victory could hand them the top of Group F; Sweden, on the other hand, who have accumulated three points after suffering a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of the Netherlands, must win to avoid depending on other results. The main absentee is midfielder Takefusa Kubo, who has been nursing a left knee injury since the opening match and is expected to remain sidelined, while the Japanese arrive on the back of a dominant 4-0 victory over Tunisia.
