The 2026 FIFA World Cup has entered its knockout phase, with all 72 group stage matches now complete. Brazil's upcoming match against Japan on June 29, 2026, at Houston Stadium, broadcast on FOX, promises to be an exciting Round of 32 showdown.
Brazil's successful group stage campaign saw them win Group C, marking their 12th consecutive World Cup group stage victory. The team's impressive performance included wins of 3-0 against both Haiti and Scotland, after an initial 1-1 draw with Morocco.
Brazil's +6 goal difference tied its third-best in a group stage and was its best since 2006. Vinícius Júnior's outstanding performance, scoring a goal in all three of Brazil's group games, made him the fifth Brazilian man to achieve this feat at a World Cup.
Japan, meanwhile, has secured a spot in the knockout rounds for the third consecutive World Cup and the fifth time in the last seven tournaments. They finished runner-up to Netherlands in Group F with an undefeated record of 1W-2D-0L in the World Cup group stage.
In their most recent meeting, Japan came from behind to beat Brazil 3-2 in a friendly match in Tokyo last October. As the teams prepare to face each other again, let's examine the odds for the Brazil vs. Japan matchup at FanDuel Sportsbook as of June 29.
