Our football match prediction:
It has been four years since Belgium and Japan last met in a friendly game and back then the Blue Samurai emerged triumphant (3-2). The Red Devils are certainly hungry for revenge and we predict that they are going to take Tuesday’s football match against Japan very seriously. Belgium rolled over each and every of their opponents in their World Cup qualifying group and they seem to be on top of their game ahead of the Japan friendly. Eden Hazard has been struggling to find his best form in the first half of the season, but Romelu Lukaku and Kevin de Bruyne have been producing terrific showings in the Premier League so fat this term and, taking everything into account, we believe that Roberto Martinez’s men are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration on Tuesday evening. A man to watch in the away team will be Borussia Dortmund attacker Shinji Kagawa.
Highlighted Player (Hazard):
After impressing during his six-year spell with Lille (2007-2012), Eden Hazard signed for Chelsea in June, 2012. The Belgian midfielder helped the Blues win the Premier League trophy in the 2014/2015 campaign and it has to be noted that he was named the Premier League Player of the Year back then. Eden Hazard made it to the 2014 World Cup quarter-finals with Belgium, but Argentina proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils in the last eight of the showpiece tournament in Brazil. Hazard scored one goal for Belgium at the Euro 2016 finals, while providing four assists for his teammates and no doubt he was the key player for Marc Wilmots’ team at the tournament in France. Eden was born on 7 January, 1991 in La Louviere, Belgium and it is well known that his brother Thorgan Hazard is a professional football player as well. Eden Hazard is married to Natacha Van Honacker, who gave birth to their three children.

Highlighted Team (Belgium):

Present on the international stage since 1904, Belgium national team have had plenty of ups and downs in the past, finishing as runners up at the 1980 European Championship in Italy. The Red Devils also won the third place on home soil at the 1972 tournament, while they enjoyed some success at the World Cup finals as well. Belgium qualified for 12 World Cup tournaments, reaching the semi-finals in 1986 and quarter-finals at the 2014 tournament in Brazil. It is the generation that played in Brazil that is believed to be the most talented team since the one featuring Enzo Scifo, Michel Preud’homme and Franky van der Elst. Playing their home games at King Baudouin Stadium, the Red Devils have impressed at the start of the 21st century, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Vincent Kompany, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne just some of the world-class players in the squad. Following some impressive results in the Euro 2016 qualifiers and international friendlies, Belgium climbed to number 1 position in the FIFA Rankings in November 2015.
