Belgium – Japan World Cup Prediction
At the World Championships in Russia today is played the third day of the final round of sixteen, which ends with the match between Belgium and Japan scheduled for 20.00 at the Rostov Arena in Rostov.
The men of CT Martinez have qualified as first in Group G, thanks to three victories against Panama, Tunisia and England, which closed second; the Japanese, however, qualified second in Group H, behind Colombia but helped by the “Fair Play” (less yellow cards) as Senegal had arrived with the same score and the same goal difference.
In recent years the two teams have faced five times, with three wins from Japan, one from Belgium and a draw.
For several years Belgium has been credited as a possible outsider to the big ones for the victory of a title and, never like this year, it seems that the players of the Netherlands are convinced they can at least try. Three victories out of three races (including one important against England in the play-off for the first place in the group), nine goals scored and only two suffered (no national has scored so many goals so far), a roadmap that really seems to be good luck, even if the races that make the difference start now and from this moment you will really see the strength of the team. In today’s race the CT Martinez will confirm the 3-4-3 seen so far with Mertens and Lukako in the field from the first minute after being at rest against the British.
Japan will make the intensity and the speed the weapons to try to put in difficulty the games, in Belgium it is expected that its midfielders make the difference in terms of technique: Kevin De Bruyne is a footballer who has proven to have the characteristics modern median, fast play, good to fit and with a sense of the goal innate. He is the man of the day for Belgium.
Probable Training
Courtois; Alderweireld, Boyata, Vertonghen; Meunier, Witsel, De Bruyne, Carrasco; Mertens, R. Lukaku, E. Hazard.
Japan was the weakest team on the Group H card, but despite the prediction it was not favorable, he made a small business and managed to win the pass for the second round of second. There were also many controversies in the course of the match lost against Poland, in which the Japanese, aware of being ahead of time with respect to Senegal, practically stopped playing, making the last fifteen minutes of the race, a training session. For CT Nishino there is only the problem of replacing Okazaki who was injured against Poland, for the rest will be the usual training in the field with the very tested 4-2-3-1.
Yuto Nagatomo has been a pillar of Inter defense for several years and has moved to Galatasaray in Turkey for a couple of seasons; during these years he acquired an experience in the European field that served him to be one of the drivers of his national team and we are more than convinced that even today will offer a capital performance.
Probable Training
Kawashima; Nagatomo, Shoji, Sakai, Yoshida; Shibasaki, Hasebe; Kagawa, Inui, Haraguchi; Osako.
