After two victories against Panama (3-0) and Tunisia (5-2),
Belgium achieved a clear fault by beating England (1-0). For this round of 16,
the Belgians are opposed to Japan,
an affordable match for teammates Eden Hazard. In the continuity of their World Cup in Brazil four years ago, the
Red Devils have accumulated experience and know the mistakes to no longer
commit. With his coach Roberto Martinez at the helm and his stars in the
Premier League, Belgium is the huge favorite of this poster. If qualified, she
could find Brazil or Mexico on her way.
The team of Roberto Martinez will be able to approach this
eighth final with full confidence. Not only has she won all three of her group
games but she is unbeaten since September 2016 and a friendly defeat against
Spain.
But Belgians have
every reason to be wary of Japan. Second in their group behind Colombia, the
Japanese do not necessarily succeed in Belgium. The latter has been imposed
only once in the last five confrontations. The winner of this match will be
opposed in the quarterfinals to the winner of the match between Brazil and
Mexico.
