Brazil v Belgium: Quarter Final - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

Lukaku has rediscovered his deadly goal-scoring form at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He has been one of the reasons why Belgium are unbeaten in the World Cup so far and have reached the semi-finals. Lukaku also showed his terrific pace against Brazil in the quarterfinals. In that game, Lukaku was deployed as a right winger and created havoc in the Brazilian defence.

Having scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 4 games, Lukaku has a goal conversion rate of 50% and scores at an average of 81.5 minutes. He has completed 48 passes at a success rate of 70.6%.

Lukaku will be a key player against France in the semi-final for Belgium. Hence, from the above stats, Lukaku is a prime candidate for the Golden Boot.
