The Blue Samurai believe to stand on their hope to reach the second stage of the tournament with a comfortable win over Greece. Whereas Greece hope to bounce back to their nature neglecting the 3-0 defeat against Colombia. Japan forward Shinji Okazaki adopt an aggressive approach to keep their FIFA World Cup campaign against Greece in Natal. Alberto Zaccheroni's side are facing an uphill battle to reach the last 16 after Ivory Coast came from behind to beat them 2-1 on Saturday. Greece also enter Thursday's Group C clash on the back of a loss after they were put to the sword by Colombia 3-0, raising the stakes. Okazaki felt his side veered away from their usual style of play after taking an early lead against Ivory Coast thanks to Keisuke Honda's stunning goal. Greece have only won one of their last seven World Cup matches. They have lost all other six. The Euro 2004 champions have a World Cup goal record of 2-18. Former Fulham midfielder Giorgos Karagounis is the most capped Greek player ever and will be picking up his 137 appearance.
