Japan takes on the visitors Poland at “Volgograd Arena” in the round three of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group stage. The game will be played in Volgograd on Thursday, June 28th.
Japan produced remarkably weak football on the eve of this World Cup, thus, nearly all fans expected the side to leave the tournament after the group stage. But in fact “Samurai Blue” have a great opportunity to promote further in the competition and they need only a draw to achieve it. At the moment the Japanese demonstrate solid play plus Shinji Kagawa feels rather comfortable in a status of a leader. In the previous tackles Japan has earned 2:2 draw against Senegal, broke Colombia 2:1 and thrashed Paraguay 4:2.

Meanwhile, Poland promised a lot before the start of the Mundial and its supporters expected to see their favourite team at least in the 1/8 final stage. But the truth is that “Orly” have already lost almost all chances to qualify from form the group. Just like the entire team, Robert Lewandowski has failed two encounters conducted, having missed an opportunity to fight for the champion’s title and the only option left for them is to try to leave with a bang. In the latest battles Poland has been beaten by Senegal 1:2 and Colombia 0:3, but managed to thrash Lithuania 4:0.
Japan celebrated 2:0 victory over Poland in 2002. At this point “Bialo-czerwoni” have nothing to reach while “Samurai Blue” will apply all their efforts in order to succeed in the forthcoming game, however, I do not believe that the Europeans won’t get at least one point at this tournament.
Prediction for the match: Poland to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
