THE PREDICTION

Nigeria lost in their second game in the Olympics and that is now six consecutive losses for them. They take on Japan in their last contest of the group and their opponents will be desperate to come out on top having fallen to USA last time out. The Japanese are still in a strong position to qualify as they come into this in second place and they can respond here to secure their spot in the next round.
