Japan - Senegal Football prediction

Second match of Group H of the World Cup in Russia. Both with three points respectively after good games. I go with the pick that Japan will get more ball possession than the Senegalese from the simple reason that Asian team has technical players who like to builds attacks and exchange a ball from player to player. They are slim and soft, without power shot from distance that is why they have to build attack and in combination way treat the pitch to get closer to scoring spot. In first game he had a 61% possession against Colombia. It is true that they played the whole game with one more player. A few months ago he played a friendly against Ghana (a team "similar to Senegal/African) In that match, managed 55% ball possession despite losing 0-2.

From other side Senegal is typical physical than tactical team. Strong tall gladiators against small ants, that will be funny to watch. In the first game of the World Cup they kept a ball only for 39% of the time. A few weeks ago played a friendly with the South Korean team (a team similar to Japan, lower level for my consider) and in that match the African team could not overcome in possession of the Asian team despite winning the game.
