JAPAN VS SENEGAL

JAPAN VS SENEGAL World Cup 2018: Japan vs Senegal prediction, team news and preview as Group H underdogs look to seal place in the knockout stages.


Japan coach Akira Nishino is looking beyond Sadio Mane for Senegal dangermen when the two sides go head to head in Group H on Sunday.The two unfancied sides are in a group also containing Colombia and Poland lead the standings after one game, and in pole position to make the knockout stages - something these two countries have done only three times between them.



The (Senegal) weak point? I can't come up with that at the moment, so rather than physicality, we have to use our brain to come up with some tactics and strategies.Before this tournament Senegal had not qualified for a World Cup since reaching the quarter-finals in 2002, sending Sweden, Uruguay and France home in the process.



The two teams topping Group H may not have expected to be in this position when going into their opening fixtures. Nevertheless, Japan and Senegal sunk Colombia and Poland respectively 2-1 and this game now takes on a different tone: deciding who will likely win the group rather than who will finish bottom.
