Japan
Japan have been a part of the past five World Cups and will compete again in just under two weeks in Russia. Japan have been drawn in Group H with Senegal, Colombia and Poland.

World Cup 2018 Japan Prediction
Japan begin their World Cup adventure against Colombia on the 19th June. This looks set to be Japan’s most difficult match against the favourites to go through from Group H, and we think that Colombia will win this match.
Japan then face Senegal on the 24th June and this is the game which Japan will be most hopeful of winning. Surely if Japan have any hopes of qualifying, they must win this match. Poland are Japan’s last group opponents, and this match will be played on the 28th June.
This could be the decider for who will finish second in the group. Japan are definitely capable of competing with Poland, but we think Poland will beat Japan and join Colombia in the last 16.
