Frequently Asked Questions

Which Japan players score the most goals?

Ayase Ueda leads with 5 goals across 10 qualifying appearances (0.5/g, 30% hit rate). The goal-rate table below ranks every Japan player by goals per qualifying appearance (≥20 minutes) and six-game form.

How does Japan's scoring profile look this season?

Japan are averaging 1.9 goals per game over 10 games and concede 0.7 for a match-total of 2.6. That ranks 11th of 21 for team goals scored. They're generating 9.6 shots/g from 7.5 key passes/g.

Why aren't there any Bet365 prices on this page?

The Bet365 player markets feed currently ships odds for Shots, Shots on Target, Tackles, Fouls and Yellow Cards. Anytime-scorer prices are not yet wired up; the chip will read “no priced market” until that's added.

How is the goals matchup read calculated?

Goals matchup blends our attackers' scoring rate (50%) with the opposition's goals conceded per game (50%). For the upcoming fixture against Brazil, the page weights each Japan attacker against the opposition's last-season goals-conceded rate.

Where do these goal stats come from?

All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz - 10 Japan fixtures in the active window for 2026.

Why is finishing rate (Goals / SOT) shown?

Japan are currently finishing at 48% - that's the share of their shots on target that beat the keeper. Above-average finishing without a matching xG signal usually regresses; pair this with shots/g and key passes/g to read whether the goals trend is sustainable.
