Colombia Women vs Japan Women Prediction
Colombia are making their debut in the SheBelieves Cup and gave a decent account of themselves despite their defeat to the USA. Ángelo Marsiglia's side are the underdogs once again and will be hoping to spring an upset.
Japan sent a statement of intent about their aspirations of ending the USA's stranglehold in this tournament. Their victory over Australia was comprehensive and installed them as the favorites to contend with the USWNT for the title. Another win here would potentially leave their matchday three clash with the defending champions as a tournament decider.
Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We are backing Japan to claim a comfortable victory in addition to a clean sheet.
