The national teams of Japan and Colombia will meet in a friendly match. How will the upcoming duel end? We'll figure it out.
Japan
Japan, after a decent World Cup in Qatar, where the Asian national team took first place in the group where the teams of Germany, Spain and Costa Rica played, and as a result was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, losing to the Croatian national team following a series of 11-meter strikes, held (March 24) a friendly match against another South American team - Uruguay -, which ended in a draw with a score of 1:1. The Asian national team is made up of players who compete in European championships, only a few players play in local championships.
Colombia
Colombia did not participate in the World Cup in Qatar, as it could not overcome the qualification barrier, but the South American national team actively participated in friendly games with the teams that competed at the World Cup, so since March last year it has held eight friendly games in which it did not suffer a single defeat, and on March 24 it played away in a draw with the South Korean national team, losing during the first half with a score of 0:2, and the author of one goal scored was CSKA Moscow midfielder Jorge Carrascal.
Statistics and figures
- Japan is the favorite of the match according to bookmakers;
- Japan has not lost at home for five games;
- Colombia has not lost away for four games;
- The teams last met in 2019: Colombia won 1-0
Forecast
I think that the match can be productive, because Colombia, after not getting to the World Cup in Qatar, is playing good games, and Japan will try not to lose in front of their native stands. I propose to place two bets on the upcoming match: both teams will score and the total total of 2.5 goals is more.
