EGY vs JPN Dream11 : Japan’s ascendancy looks set to continue today when they face off against a despondent Egypt side
Two sides, completely opposing records and league positions, enough to tell us what today’s encounter between Japan and Egypt is going to be all about. Where Japan are climbing the ranks of the points tally with the 5 wins to their name, Egypt are regressing on the other hand with 5 defeats, a completely opposing set of events which are set to make this encounter as one-sided a one as it gets.
After beginning the showpiece tournamnet in lacklustre fashion with a string of defeats finding their way after ever win for the side, the hosts have done extremely well to galvanise their campaign. Handed a favourable set of fixtures over the course of the last few days, the side have been relentless and ruthless, capitalising on the encounters at hand to go on a rampant precedence.
They last played against Russia, a win which was a comprehensive one on Thursday with the home side sweeping through to a 3-1 result to dominate a flailing Russia outfit. It saw them make it three wins in succession, a spree of form which makes for sordid viewing for an Egypt side which finds itself pummelled into the trenches of the league standings in 10th place.
The outfit have managed to win just the two matches, being put down by sides who have found it all too easy to curb them and maraud their way to runaway wins. Their previous showing against Poland perfectly emphasised everything wrong with the unit with the side not only failing to halt the opposition’s attacking sorties but putting on an atrocity riddled display in attack as well to see the side go down 3-0 and fall to their 5th defeat.
