World Cup 2018: Predicting the winners from each Round of 16 clash

Modified Jun 29, 2018 18:57 GMT

#6 Belgium vs Japan

Belgium kicked off their World Cup run in a classy manner via a 3-0 victory against Panama. In the other two games, The Red Devils displayed the same tenacity to end the opening round with the most goals scored.

On the other hand, Japan were fairly lucky to have not bowed out from the group stage itself, owing to the fair play rules which made the difference between them and Senegal.

The Akira Nishino led team only managed four points with a win and a draw against Colombia and Senegal respectively.

As such, the prediction is in favor of Belgium as a matter of course.
