Of Japan’s 6 shots versus Senegal, 3 were on goal. The Japanese are as efficient as the Colombians. Still, home continent advantage means something. Colombia gets it done.

Brazil lost to Italy in their first under-20 World Cup match. But the Brazilians took 5 shots on goal from 12. Brazil should be more efficient in this while the DR defense may not be as lucky at stopping so many shots.

Brazil will be out to prove they’re a favorite to lift the World Cup under-20 hardware. Although -4.5 is a ton of goals, the chalk covers the handicap.
