Japan vs Colombia Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by in World Cup Predictions
Beaten by Ivory Coast and held to a draw by Greece (2-1), Japan's only choice is to beat Colombia - who are already through to the knockout phase - in order to keep their hopes of making it through to the last 16 alive. Technically proficient but struggling in front of goal, the Japanese will have to play out of their skins to overcome the "Cafeteros", who have been very impressive since the start of the competition. With the pressure off, José Pekerman can use this match to rest his senior players and allow Bacca, Quintero and Jackson Martinez to start the match. Three fresh and gifted players who'll be very keen to impress before the start of the knockout phase. Will the challenge be too great for Japan?

Japan - Colombia Key Points
- Colombia won their first two matches in commanding style (3-0 vs. Greece; 2-1 vs. Ivory Coast) and will not waste this last chance to boost their confidence further before going into the last 16.
- The "Cafeteros" have enjoyed fantastic support since the start of this World Cup. Once again, the stands of the Pantanal Arena will be a sea of yellow!
- The "Blue Samurais" have lost 4 of their last 5 matches played against countries from the American continent.
- Against both Ivory Coast (lost 2-1) and Greece (0-0), Japan have shown a blatant lack of finishing power.
- This is not something the Colombians will be lacking with a very talented "B" team (Bacca, Jackson Martinez, Quintero, Guarin) that will be out to show they deserve a starting place!
