THE PREDICTION

Japan overcame France in their clash at the 2016 Olympics and they will hope to repeat that outcome here. The Japanese come into this on the back of two wins in a row while France defeated Spain in their last warm-up game, avenging their loss in their prior clash. There is little to split these two but the French start as favourites and they can justify that by edging this contest.
