England vs Belgium Today’s Soccer Prediction
England
So far, England is in full swing at the 2018 World Cup, even though the toughest task in the group stage is still waiting. The “Three Lions” are likely to have the confidence after the last results to play against Belgium on victory. Above all, the offensive of Gareth Southgate’s team has apparently increased in recent days. Against Tunisia, they had been quite heavy in the narrow 2-1 victory, especially in halftime 2, also in the first round, a number of high-profile opportunities could not help. But newcomer Panama was less likely to feel it. Because: England swept away with 6: 1 over the outsider, this was the highest victory of the team in a World Cup match at all and at the same time one of the highest achievements in the current tournament. The biggest trump of the English is and remains Harry Kane: With 5 hits he is in the fight for the top scorer in the pole position, but in general, at least three players were responsible for the previous 8 hits. We also see strong standards in England: Not for nothing has central defender John Stones already celebrated 2 goals. The wings are also generating tremendous momentum, with offensive outdoor players like Sterling or Lingard as well as their defensive counterparts Trippier or Young, who often act as wingbacks in a 3-5-2, a source of pressure. A factor that should not be swept under the table: while England scored 6 goals against Panama, Belgium only got three against them. Likewise, the team of Gareht Southgate can speak of a little more efficiency in front of the opponent’s goal, even if you can hardly believe this after the game against Tunisia. England have scored 15 times in the previous 2 games, scoring eight goals, and Belgium will need 18 shots for the same number of goals, a still very strong odd. Whether these numbers seem a bet tip on one or the other goal on Thursday obvious, about the same on a hit for both teams or over 2.5 goals. We also see strong points in England in the passing game / in terms of passport security, with more than 1,000 players arriving, they are among the top 5 in the tournament so far. The most likely to get along the “Three Lions” currently probably with a robust style of play. England itself rather shy away from the physical game, has committed only 21 fouls in the tournament so far, only Japan and Uruguay hold at a lower value.
Belgium
Belgium is developing more and more from an outsider to a hot candidate for the title in Russia. The same applies, of course, for opponents England, the Belgians seem to have overcome their problems in major tournaments, which in spite of strong single players in recent years for the Central Europeans usually did not end well or successfully. Compared to many other (co-) favorites such as Germany, Brazil or France, Hazard & Co have consistently been able to deliver convincing performance. At the beginning there was a 3: 0 against Panama, on Sunday followed a 5: 2 against Tunisia. It can be assumed that this will be an extremely close match on Thursday, as even the goal difference between the two opponents is currently the same. In a draw, even the fair play rating could come into play. Here Belgium would be out of favor, which is why the team of Roberto Martinez is more likely to rely on a win. However, the climb is already fixed for both teams, so we could expect a game with an open visor. Curious: If an English, but not a Belgian player would be warned on Thursday, so in a draw would even decide the lottery for group victory and 2nd place. With 18 shots on goal, Belgium are currently the team that could win the most diplomas. In addition, we see the Belgian offensive a bit more variable than that of England. Because: While the opponent Harry Kane is mainly responsible for the goals, Belgium have already registered in the top scorer list four different shooters. The number one hope is Romelu Lukaku, who holds 4 goals in his first two matches after his brace and battles for Kane’s lead in the top scorers’ list. Accordingly, a scorer bet could be a thoroughly exciting alternative. Belgium is slightly behind in terms of pass rate compared to England. However, against Tunisia they have been able to score three more goals in a clear 5-2 victory than their opponents could celebrate in a duel with the North Africans. England, on the other hand, was known to be stronger against Panama. We see slight problems in the two-man lead: Belgium is among the 7 weakest of the 32 World Cup teams in terms of won duels, has so far only 106 won such a win. The direct duel also speaks clearly against Belgium: After regular time none of the previous clashes with England has been won, in total there was only one complete success in the last 10 matches, this after penalties.
