Brazil vs. Japan: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

Brazil will be looking to keep their post-World Cup winning streak going when they face Japan in a friendly in Singapore on Tuesday.

The Selecao have yet to concede a goal since their miserable home-soil World Cup exit in the summer, beating Colombia and Ecuador, with their most recent win coming against Argentina on Saturday.

The Japanese also go into the encounter at the National Stadium on the back of a win—1-0 over Jamaica on Friday—but will be without star man Shinji Kagawa.

Tardelli Double Seals Win

Diego Tardelli scored both goals as Brazil beat Argentina 2-0 in Beijing on Saturday in a performance which will have pleased new manager Dunga.

They were the Atletico Mineiro striker's first goals for his country and hinted that he may be a better option in attack for Brazil than World Cup under-performers Jo and Fred.

As tactics expert Michael Cox stated, it was a good performance from Brazil against a strong Argentine side—Lionel Messi missed a penalty—with strong play on the counter-attack:

Dunga—who replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari as coach after the World Cup—has started his reign in fine fashion, winning every game, and his side passed the Argentina test with aplomb.

If Brazil produce a similar performance in Singapore against Japan—a team who picked up just one group-stage point at the World Cup—they should quite easily make it four wins from four since the summer.

Tardelli will be hoping to find the back of the net again while Neymar—who underwhelmed somewhat in China—will no doubt be looking to make a big impression after a strong start to the La Liga season with Barcelona.

Kagawa Absence a Major Concern

Kagawa's absence from the Japan team for Tuesday's encounter is a big problem for boss Javier Aguirre as the Mexican would have wanted his strongest squad possible considering the quality of opposition.

However, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder took a blow to the chin against Jamaica and, although he continued for the majority of the match, he has now left the squad after suffering mild concussion, per the Bundesliga website.

Aguirre claims he is relaxed ahead of the encounter and believes his side's 1-0 win over Jamaica should have been more convincing, per Kyodo News (h/t Soccerway):

"

I'm as relaxed as I always am. The result did not reflect our performance. I think we had four clear-cut chances we didn't take. I'm pleased with the way the team clicked, but I'm not satisfied with the result. If we play the way we did [against Jamaica] we might have a chance against Brazil. We had 20 shots against Jamaica. Against Brazil we might have one - and we'll need to take that.

"

Aguirre took over the top job at Japan after the World Cup and the Jamaica win was his first victory after a loss to Uruguay and draw with Venezuela. 

If Japan are to claim a famous win over Brazil they will need Keisuke Honda to be on top form.

The AC Milan player has started the Serie A season incredibly well—scoring four and assisting two in six matches per WhoScored.com—but it will take something truly special from the 28-year-old for the Japanese to pull off a shock.
