Senegal’s under-20 squad is struggling. The Senegalese lost to Japan by a goal. Then in their second World Cup match, Senegal drew 1-1 with Israel.

Colombia is 2-0 in their first 2 under-20 WC matches. No doubt, the Colombians have the edge. Senegal, though, could be thinking draw. Because Colombia already has 2 wins, they won’t force the attack.

Israel bounced back from a 1-2 loss to Colombia with a decent 1-1 draw against Senegal. Japan beat Senegal but then lost to Colombia.

The Japanese should win this. Israel will fight hard, but Japan has the overall better roster. Also, losing to Colombia should provide plenty of motivation.

France is in some trouble. The French have lost their first two under-20 World Cup matches. Honduras lost their first WC match, but it was by a single goal to Gambia.

The French will show up the favorites. Can they get a win? Yes, but they won’t. France doesn’t have it while Honduras will head into their game versus France with a likely victory over South Korea.

This will be an excellent matchup. At the time of this writing, the South Koreans, who beat France in their first under-20 World Cup match, were down by 2 goals to Honduras in their second.

Gambia is 2-0 in their first 2 WC matches. The one should go either way. So if Gambia offers odds that make them an underlay, consider backing South Korea. As it stands now, Gambia is the play.
