World Cup 2018: Predicting the Round of 16 Matches

#6 Belgium vs Japan

Romelu Lukaku is the 2nd highest goalscorer of this world cup so far.

Belgium has been the dark horses for the last few major tournaments and the time has finally arrived for the Belgians to be regarded as one of the favourites for this tournament given their exceptional performance in the group stage.

Japan were lucky to have progressed through the group stage as they couldn't even beat a Poland side that was already out of the competition and wasn't playing well, and their only win came against Columbia who were down to 10 men after just 5 minutes of play.

Japan has shown courage in this tournament but will not be able to match the quality of this Belgium team and the last Asian team in this tournament will most probably be knocked out of the tournament on Monday.

Prediction- Lukaku fails but Belgium win comfortably.
