Colombia vs Japan Today’s Soccer Prediction

Colombia-Japan – With this game, the World Cup begins with Group H, and for this group it can be said that it is somehow the most equitable, so this first duel will be very important for Colombia and Japan, as there are also Poland, and Senegal as a selection that they also want in the eighth finals. The Colombians had turbulent qualifications, although they are, according to individual quality, one of the best teams from South America, while the Japanese are already permanent participants in the Mundials, but this selection usually ends after the group stage. Colombia played pre-match games solidly, with two halves for the end, and Japan played very poorly, with the fact that they were celebrating in the final preparations match. Four years ago at the World Cup in Brazil, Colombia beat Japan 4-1.

Colombia

Individually, Colombia is one really good team, but still have some crisis periods when they simply play very badly. It happened to them at the beginning of the qualifications for this Mundial, to play after that excellent and it seemed that they would easily get away to Russia. In the end, however, some unexpected defeats, so he decided on the last duel with Peru. Everything coincided so that Colombia’s rematch was enough, and it was also the Peruvians to go to the barrack, so the match was over and over.In friendly matches after the qualifications, Colombia again showed more faces and lost to J. Korea, but they have won a strong France, while China have beaten 4-0. In the last two tests, there are only two rallies, without goals, against Australia and Egypt, which means they have cause for concern, because they hardly score goals. It should not have happened in the selection that has attackers like Falcao, Bacca, or Muriel in their ranks, and there is a great midfielder and the best player of this selection, J.Rodriguez. Despite the wide choice of the striker, selector Pekerman often sends on the pitch only one, while Malcolm could still play with Falcao, so that he would not start to score goals again.
Probable starting lineup of Colombia: Ospina – Arias, Y.Mina, D.Sanchez, Mojica – C.Sanchez, Barrios – Ju.Guadrado, J.Rodriguez, Muriel – Falcao

Japan

One of the biggest reasons for concern before the start of Mundial is Japan. They did not have too many problems in the qualifications, although they lost two matches, however, the last round they could play completely relieved, and therefore the defeat in that match was completely painless. Thus, the Japanese continued their placement in the world championships and are present in the Mundials every time since 1998, but they can not fail to make some progress and usually fall off after the group stage, or possibly in the eighth finals. They did nothing more even when they were hosts in 2002, while four years ago they won only a point in three group game matches, with a heavy defeat just from Colombia.
Otherwise, the problems for the Japanese started after the qualifications, or in a series of friendly matches in which nobody could win. Apparently, they decided that the completely unexpected shifts of the selector Halilhodzic and the bench are now Akira Nishino, but he also lost two duels as a coach, as the Japanese with 2: 0 beat Germany and Switzerland. Hoping that they could play a more important role at Mundial, she was revived with a victory over Paraguay in the final standings. They did not go smoothly here and they lost a lot and then they celebrated with 4: 2. He returned to the Inui team and scored two goals, and the Asano striker left the team, while the greatest hopes were placed in Kagawa, Hondu and Okazaki.
The probable initial composition of Japan: Kawashima – H.Sakai, Yoshida, Makino, Nagatomo – Hasebe, Yamaguchi – Honda, Kagawa, Inui – Okazaki
