Colombia and Japan measure their strength in a meeting for this phase of the World Cup. There is only one recent direct showdown between these two teams, on 06/24/2014, which ended Colombia's (1-4) win.

Analysis of Colombia

The team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first game in this competition. In the last game he played, for Friendlies, tied with Egypt for (0-0). In the last 10 games, Colombia has recorded 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. His attack has scored regularly, as he has managed to score in 7 of the last 10 matches. In the 15 games he played, he only managed 1 turnaround in 6 games in which he suffered the first goal.

Colombia have never managed to win the World Cup, their best ever campaign being fifth place in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. In the qualifying phase for the World Cup South American zone, the Colombian team made a rather irregular campaign, qualifying even on the tangent thanks to a 1-1 draw against Peru on the final day. In the last five games Colombia played in qualifying, more than 1.5 goals were scored in four of those games. We believe that in this game the Colombian national team will again play a game with more than 1.5 goals, although it should be presented with a more defensive tactical scheme, and to exploit the exits in speed on the counterattack, counting on the quality of James Rodriguez to try to score goals in this premiere in the World Championship of Russia.

Analysis of Japan

The team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first game in this competition. In the last game he played, for Friendlies, won to Paraguay by (4-2). In the last 10 games Japan have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 6. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, having conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 games but their attack has regularly scored, as they have scored goals in the last 10 matches. In their games there is a tendency to score goals, as 21 of their last 24 games have finished with over 1.5 goals. In 15 games, he only managed 1 turnaround in 6 games in which he suffered the first goal.

The Japan national team has not had much tradition in world football, it has never won a World Cup, and the titles we can highlight are the four Asian cups, the last one won in 2011. Japan reached the World Cup after qualifying first in Group 2 of the qualifying phase of the Asian zone with only one point advantage over Saudi Arabia. His campaign in qualifying had the following numbers, in 10 games he got 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. The strengths of the Japanese team are the speed of their players Asano and Inui, who always seek to reach the bottom line, as well as other well-known names such as Honda and Okazaki. Japan are very keen to complete their attack moves with mid-range shots.
