Kaishū Sano brings 15 caps for Japan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, lining up as a midfielder. At club level they play for 1. FSV Mainz 05 (GER). That record is the base the model weighs alongside current form and the strength of the group.
The model rates Sano's anytime-goalscoring probability at 0.7% at this tournament — a long shot read. That comes from an expected 0.03 goal contributions (xG + xA) over the projected minutes. Like every probability on the site, it is a long-run likelihood, not a guarantee that a goal arrives in any one match.
