Japan vs Colombia

This is going to be an easy fixture for the Colombians because they have already eliminated Japan in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil with a score 4-1 and this what they would want to do so in this game as well. James Rodriguez scored a wonder goal against Japan and he would want to repeat his heroics in this game as well but this 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia and the tides are on the different side of the shore with big countries like Germany, Argentina, Brazil and Spain failing to register a win in their opening games state that the underdogs are performing better than they were written off.  Now this game would be tricky for the Japanese as they have been in terrible form but their last game against Paraguay saw them victorious so they would want to build on that take their revenge on Colombia by returning the favour in this World Cup.

A thrilling game awaits everyone at Morodovia Arena as both these two teams clash in the opening game of Group H.
