Japan v Senegal, 16:00 BBC1
Senegal were the only African side to win in the opening round of fixtures at this World Cup and that win has put them in pole position to claim the top spot in Group H and advance to the next stage. Japan also won, albeit with the help of a 3rd minute red card and penalty, and so both teams are well placed to advance if they can avoid defeat here.
Although Senegal have some exciting attacking options on the face of it, with Keita Balde and Sadio Mane offering pace and quality down the wings, Aliou Cisse is a defensive manager. That’s resulted in Senegal drawing 10 of their last 21 matches and being level at the break in 15 of those. Given there’s been little to split World Cup matches between Asian and African sides since 1990, with a W5-D6-L4 record narrowly in favour of the Asian teams, the draw is the value bet. At the time of writing we are still waiting for a first 0-0 but this could just be the one, with five of Senegal’s last nine draws being goalless and it’s worth having a punt on that at 11/2 with Betway.
One thing to expect is that Senegal will pick up the most bookings. They picked up five in one of their warm-up friendlies against Croatia while they collected a couple in their opening match with Poland. In contrast, Japan have picked up just nine in their last 10 internationals combined and their only one against Colombia was a 93rd minute booking for time wasting.
