In its turn, Japan belongs to the strongest teams of Asia, hence, it regularly participates in the World Cups, however, it is quite clear that “Samurai Blue” are not capable to count for any significant achievements. The side’s promotion from the group will be considered as successful performance at this Mundial, still, it is obviously lacking leaders and high-class footballers to reach it. In the latest clashes Japan has thrashed Paraguay 4:2, but failed against Switzerland and Ghana with the same 0:2 scoreline.
Colombia has never lost to Japan in its history. “Los Cafeteros” currently look much stronger comparing to the upcoming rival, thus, “Samurai Blue” are not likely to take points from the Colombians in the Tuesday fight.
Prediction for the match: Colombia to win.
