Japan definitely know how much important this match is, knowing that it’s a must-win for them, while the Colombia have already secured a spot in the round of last 16 knockout stages. Colombia may likely decide to rest some of the team’s playmaker stars in preparation prior to the round of last 16 knockout stage of the 2014 FIFA World Cupfootball tournament. Colombia have scored a total of five goals (combined) in their recent games and accumulated six points from two victories. Having already qualified for the next round of elimination stage thanks to the consecutive triumphs against the Greece and Côte d’Ivoire, Colombia footballers are now looking for their third win out of three matches and join the Netherlands, which earned a total of nine-points, to outline their credentials as potential 2014 FIFA World Cup victors to come in July. While the Greece and Japan have one point each, though Greek’s goal difference is inferior.
Meanwhile, Colombia’s veteran football player and team captain Mario Yepes, who’s also playing as a defender for Serie A club Atalanta, may be sitting out from today’s match due to a muscle injury, as well as the 27-year-old striker Carlos Bacca could also be resting out as he’s trying to recover from a minor injury in their past game. The Monaco star player Kames Rodriguez have showcased a marvelous performance, he has scored in each of his last four appearances for Colombia team in the international tournament.
Japanese World Cup delegates, on the flip side, are up against the their tough contender as they have never defeated a soccer club from South America in an international football competition, but they must change that impression and make a history for their team in today’s game.
