THE PREDICTION
The host nation will be eager to do well in the men’s football tournament and the very fact they have called up key internationals Hiroki Sakai, Maya Yoshida and Wataru Endo. They will be typically be very solid at the back and at the very least, will be incredibly tough to break down. South Africa are unquestionably one of the weaker teams in the tournament and it is hard to see them getting much joy in this difficult group. They will find it difficult enough against the Japanese and a win and clean sheet looks to be on the cards for the host nation here.
