Colombia - Japan Prediction, Picks and Tips
Colombia and Japan will have to wait until Tuesday June 19 to debut and will do so in the group that according to the betting houses is more equal of all in terms of the possibilities of the teams that are part of it to qualify for eighth. Because according to the bookmakers, the quota of the most favorite team to qualify, Colombia, is 1.37, rather lower than the favorite of other groups. And the least favorite of the four to qualify, Japan, only 3 euros per euro wagered! which reflects the equality of a group that also includes Poland and Senegal. The 'coffee growers' gave the lime to France (2-3), in an exhibition in Paris in which they made their fans began to dream of improving in Russia the performance that four years ago took them to the quarterfinals, where They fell to host Brazil.
But then came the sand, with goalless draws against Australia (0-0) and Egypt (0-0), two 'mediocries' that will hardly reach the finals. The Nipponese, who have been given odds by the odds to reach the knockout stages but who theoretically are the weakest in the group, have fared worse, but last Tuesday they finally achieved a hopeful result. In their friendlies they have drawn against Mali (1-1) and fallen to Ukraine (1-2), Ghana (0-2) and Switzerland (2-0) until on Tuesday they beat Paraguay (2-4). But there is no doubt that if he has suffered several defeats against weaker rivals than Colombia, the Colombians should start as favorites.
The coffee selection is the favorite to achieve the first place in the group. The Japanese team is according to the bookmakers the weakest team in their group. Colombia is one of the 'capped' of the championship and four years ago brushed the semifinals, although it fell in the quarterfinals against host Brazil.
