Japan vs Senegal LIVE World Cup 2018: Prediction, how to watch online, what time, what channel, team news, line-ups, betting odds

After beating Colombia, Japan will be desperate to prove that it was not a fluke result and follow it up with a win against Senegal who put in a spirited performance to beat Poland 2-1.

Senegal manager Aliou Cisse is "certain" an African team will one day win the World Cup, and while lifting the trophy may be far-fetched for Senegal, they looked very impressive against Poland and could be this year’s dark horses.

Both Japan and Senegal’s fans earned plaudits when their fans stayed behind after their opening games and helped to tidy up the stadium. On the pitch it may be less friendly with both teams knowing that a victory will be a huge step into the last 16.
