The Japanese men's team hope to join the Nadeshiko at the London Olympics with victory over Bahrain at the National Stadium on Wednesday night.
While Japan can qualify for the Summer Games with just a draw against the Bahrainis, Takashi Sekizuka's side is eyeing only a win before the home crowd to top Group C.
Japan have appeared at the last four Olympics. Only the three group winners automatically qualify.
