Of all the groups pulled out of the hat for World Cup 2018, it’s fair to say that Group H was one of the most appealing to neutral observers.
This fixture between the Japanese and the Senegalese, which will take place in Yekaterinburg on June 24, is an intriguing clash because Colombia and Poland – the two favourites to finish first and second in Group H – are playing each other at roughly the same time, and clearly one of those teams, or perhaps both, will drop points.
And so this fixture has taken on extra importance in the context of who succeeds and who struggles in this section of the draw. Will it be Japan or Senegal that takes the all-important three points? Let's find out what are Japan vs Senegal betting tips.
Japan made a really big surprise when playing against Colombia as they won 2-1. What set that duel was the red card for a Colombian player at the very beginning of the match and at the same time penalty was awarded. They managed to suppress the attacks from South American side and won.
Senegal also played really well during their match against Poland. To be honest, European side was not playing up to par and Senegal - with their great tactical sense - managed to overcome strengths of Polish team.
The Senegalese are just about fancied by the bookmakers, who have made them a narrow favourite at 2.50.
The Japanese aren’t too far behind at 3.10 however, while the draw can be backed at 3.00.
2. Japan vs Senegal Predictions
We really do struggle for context when comparing two teams from wholly separate continents and football cultures, and the fact they haven’t played each other in 15 years hardly helps matters so Japan vs Senegal odds cannot be a good indicator whether one team is the favourite to win or not! For what it’s worth, Japan have never beaten Senegal in three meetings, with the Africans winning twice and the third meeting ending in stalemate.
Instead, we have to look at the two squads in isolation, and consider which has the strongest players with the most big tournament experience.
Senegal have a number of excellent players who play their club trade in Europe’s top divisions. You take their rock in defence, Kalidou Koulibaly, who has been an integral part of Napoli’s Serie A title challenge and efforts in the Champions League. Idrissa Gueye and Cheikh Kouyate have been English Premier League regulars for a number of years, while Alfred N’Diaye has been a central figure in Wolves’ climb to the top of the Championship table.
In attack, goals aren’t heard to come by. The exciting Keita Balde will battle it out with Everton’s Oumar Niasse to see who will lead the line, with the sprinkling of magic dust provided by Liverpool’s outstanding Sadio Mane.
It’s a Senegal team that should prosper in tournament football given how strong they are in most departments. Japan have less top-level experience to their name. They still have a number of class acts in the likes of Shinji Kagawa, Maya Yoshida and Shinji Okazaki, but their squad as a whole does not have the elite club level pedigree that the Senegalese can call upon.
And you wonder, ultimately, if that will prove crucial in a must-win game that this is for both teams. It may come down to mistake or one moment of magic, and you suspect on either front it would be Senegal that would come out on top.
So back the African side to complete the victory at 2.50.
