How the figures are calculated

Every figure comes from the final and half-time scores of Japan's last 50 finished matches in our data, across all competitions. Pre-match prices and model forecasts are not used.

Each outcome is counted from Japan's side: “Won” means Japan won, whether it played at home or away. The 30-day average uses all matches we covered and is only shown where the outcome is the same for both teams, such as over 2.5 goals or both teams scoring.

A high figure describes what has happened before. It is not a forecast of the next match.
