Japan v Colombia Odds : Live Stream plus free bets from Group C
The latest Japan v Colombia odds, plus live streaming and free bets from the World Cup clash at Arena Pantanal, Cuiabá.
Japan need to beat Colombia on Tuesday evening and hope other results go their way to join the South American’s in the last 16.
Japan will be kicking themselves for failing to overcome the 10 men of Greece in their last Group C encounter.
Against 10 men for over half the match, the Asian’s struggled to create a glorious chance and will see the match as two points dropped.
Colombia edged past Ivory Coast to book their place in the last 16, with James Rodriguez once again shinning for Jose Pekerman’s side.
Rodriguez opened the scoring with a header, before Juan Quintero doubled their lead shortly after.
Gervinho pulled one back for Ivory Coast, although they held on to make it two wins from two and guarantee qualification.
A point for Colombia would be enough for them to secure top spot, meaning they would almost certainly face one of Italy or Uruguay in the second round.
The pair have met twice before, with Colombia winning one and draw the other, without conceding a goal.
World Cup best: Japan twice second round (Most recent 2010); Colombia last 16 (1990)
