SSN BET - Match of the Day: Columbia - Japan / 19.06.2018
Hi guys!
Belgium has shown an excellent game in the first match on the FIFA World Cup and could win against Panama which for the first time participated in such large tournament. The leader of attacks "red devils" Romelu Lukaku has made a double in this match and there was Man of the match. I hope in a match with Tunisia they will be able to play also faultlessly in defense and to win the second game to approach a match with England with a totality of points. England hardly could change Tunisia. The goal in the 90th minute has scored Harry Kane and this goal became the second goal for the forward of English national team. It has been recognized by Man of the match at this meeting.
Colombia in the first duel will try to achieve the maximum result, for this purpose the team has a potential.
Columbia
Colombia has great held the last World Cup, having gained the maximum quantity of points at a group stage. Japan was a rival of Columbia and on Brazilian "FIFA World Cup", then Colombia has left no chance for Japanese, having beaten them 4:1 in the third round. The current World Cup – that's another story, but as a part of Colombians there were still those football players who defined result four years ago.
By training team at "FIFA World Cup" José Pekerman didn't begin to sate the schedule with a huge number of matches, having focused on an internal microclimate in collective. Colombians have carried out only two duels - in the first couldn't beat Australia, having painted a goalless draw, in the second match the same result has been recorded, only Egypt was a rival this time.
The team in Kazan prepares - holds a set of open trainings, organizes photoshoots with fans. To all appearances Pekerman is satisfied with functional readiness of team.
Japan
Japan hasn't without effort got to itself the permit to "FIFA World Cup", but after that had a lot of time for preparation for him. In total Japanese have carried out 12 duels, including friendly matches and the Championship of East Asia. Akira Nisino has tried to sate as much as possible the schedule of the team with matches, but Japan can't brag of solid results in them. Only several victories over representatives of Asia and Oceania are and all "baggage" of Japanese by preparation.
In the last friendly match with Paraguay Japan has shown excellent result and that is more important, good mutual understanding of players in the field. The victory of the national team of Japan with the score 4:2 has for certain delighted fans, before the team quality of a game not strongly indulged them.
Japanese to Russia after all other teams – have arrived on June 13. "blue Samurais" in Kazan on training base of local Rubin have settled down. The first duel will be nearly decisive in group for team, and Nisino for certain understands it.
Statistics and personal meetings
- Last time teams met in the World Cup of 2014 – Colombia has won 4:1
- Japan in the 21st century never won against Colombians – two defeats and two draw
- In the last five friendly matches Japan has missed nine goals
- In the last World Cup Colombia in group has scored nine goals
Colombia bookmakers is considered the favourite of group, but in practice Colombians will need to justify this status. The group very complex, each team has real chances of the playoffs. In such situation it is necessary to approach each duel very responsibly, skilled Pekerman knows it how nobody else. The main force of Colombia is her attack. The chief creative producers in the person of Hames Rodriguez and Juan Cuadrado have spent worthy seasons in the clubs, on them and main "goalscorer" of the national team Radamel Falcao will lean. Japan not in the best way plays in protection – it was shown by both friendly matches, and a selection round. Colombia which will seek to receive three points in every way also has to use it.
Columbia - Japan 1(-1) with 2,32 for 5% of bank
