The Samaria Blue will host the Black Stars of Ghana in a friendly as part of their annual part of the annual Kirin Challenge Cup. While at it, the Asians will aim at cutting down their provisional 27-man shortlist to the final 23-man squad ahead of the upcoming World Cup at Russia. As a result, a tough decision-making test awaits head coach Akira Nishino who took over from Vahid Halilhodzic back in April.
For Ghana, the encounter will be nothing but a platform for the new faces to launch their career on the international stage. The team travels to Japan without the likes of Asamoah Gyan, the Ayew Brothers, and Wakaso Mubarak. The 2010 World Cup quarter-finalist failed to earn a trip to Russia after a disappointing qualification phase, having featured in the same group as Mohamed Salah's Egypt, Congo, and Uganda.
However, that should not deter them from putting up a good show against a World Cup-bound Japanese team. Kwesi Appiah's men enter Wednesday's international friendly at Nissan Stadium on the back of a five-game unbeaten run. They have also lost just one of their last eleven matches.
Japan, on the other hand, will aim at getting a better result having lost by two goals to one against Ukraine in their last friendly encounter. They have twice and drawn once in their last three games across all competitions.
