Match 4- Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs Bad Luck Fale
The two are adding a sixth chapter to their story, and each chapter before has been quite good in the ring and in terms of psychology.
Tanahashi usually brings the best out of his opponents and Fale is no exception. They have traded wins with one another and usually, Tanahashi outsmarts the big man by getting the count out victory.
With Fale now being apart of the BC Firing Squad and losing via disqualification to Hangman Page, he is currently standing on 0 points while Tanahashi has 2 points. With Tanahashi making a statement by beating Suzuki and challenging Okada at Wrestling Dontaku earlier in the year, he is going for the Heavyweight Title. Also, this is Tanahashi's 17th G1 Climax so he is a veteran in the round robin.

Prediction - Bad Luck Fale. With Fale having lost to Tanahashi last year in the G1 and this year in the New Japan Cup, Fale needs a win back and here is where it is suitable. Fale beating Tanahashi in G1 makes him a credible threat in the tournament, so the 'Underboss' is winning this round.
Match 5- Kazuchika Okada Vs Hangman Page
A first-time encounter between these two should be exciting. Page has already impressed over the year in matches with Kenny Omega and Jay White, along with tag matches with Cody against the Golden Lovers, and Okada is the 720-day reign, 13 defenses former IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
With Okada having lost to Jay White first and losing to Zack Sabre Jr, Kenny Omega and drawing with Suzuki, Okada has been on a downward spiral since losing his prize, but this is all apart of building him back up to prominence when he challenges for the title again down the line.
However both are looking to claim points and with both being young and hungry for the opportunity, the win could go to either man, but the fans should expect an athletic spectacle from the 'Rain-Maker' and Page.
Prediction-Okada. After losing to Jay White, if Okada loses to another wrestler par-taking in their first G1 it will in someways damage his reputation in a way. Beating Hangman will be fine as Page's reputation will be intact. Okada will be picking up 2 points.
