Belgium won six of the seven games this year, getting only three goals. Before the Monday dispute, Roberto Martinez faces two problems. Both Eden Hazard and Romeo Lukaku were uncertain. Undoubtedly, the game of "devils" will suffer in their absence, but the iberian seems confident they will be recovered in time. Vertonghen, De Bruyne, Meunier, Tielemans and Dendoncker have a yellow card. In case they succeeds to beat Japan, Belgium will achieve for the second consecutive quarter stage.
On the other side, in the last match of the group, the Japanese have lost to the limit in front of Poland, score 0-1. However, helped by Columbia's victory, they finished second, in detriment of Senegal, which had +2 yellow cards received.
It was for the third time in the last six games, when the offensive did not find the way to score a goal. Although he managed to break through, Japan did not really impress. Victory against Colombia came as a result of having evolved with an extra man since the third minute, while the Senegal match seemed quite tormented. Thus, beeing present for the sixth consecutive time in a World Championship, Japan seems to have reached its limit and the chances of witnessing a surprise on "Rostov Arena" are quite low. Inui, Hasebe, Eiji Kawashima and Tomoaki Makino have a yellow card.
For this game I will go for a multi bet exact score: 2 - 0, 0 - 2, 2 - 1, 1 - 2: Odds 3.00
After the surprisez of Spain and Croatia, matches that I expect not to go into overtime, I hope to a 2 - 0, but maybe the japanese have great hopes and they will score once, so 2 - 1 it's also a good result.
