Japan only need a draw to qualify from this group. I expect them to defend with their heart and strength in this match. If we look at Denmark previous two matches, they find it hard to break solid defence, but they could score goals through counter attacks. This is mainly due to their forwards are generally aged but have plenty of skills in them. They could not beat those prepared defensive line through speed and power. And come to worse is that we see plenty of defensive errors by the Danish team against Cameroon in particular. I would fancy a dull draw this one.
Man to watch (Denmark): Nicklas Bebdtner
The towering forward has some good skills to troubled defence, but he has to distribute ball better, especially when he face a packed defence.
Man to watch (Japan): Yoshito Okubo
The forward could be very dangerous if he was given some space to shoot. When Danish attention were put on Honda during counter attacks, Okubo would stand a good chance to score.
Prediction: A goalless draw for both sides
