Betting suggestion:

This clash puts in the field two teams that finished the World Cup qualifiers in the lead of their groups. In addition to leading, Belgium finished with the best defense and also the best attack of the group, thus evidencing that it is going through a great phase. The Japanese also had the best defense, and they had the best attack, tied with Saudi Arabia. 
In the last fifteen years, these teams have met only three times, with two Japanese wins and a draw. However, the current situation seems much more favorable for Belgium, which has great players in its squad, used to compete in the best European championships. 
That said, also by playing at home, it is a good option to bet on the victory of the Belgians.

Analysis Belgium

This is the 4th friendly match of the year for the home team, after having registered the following final scores in the previous friendlies: Belgium (3‑3) Mexico, Belgium (2‑1) Czech Republic and Russia (3‑3) Belgium. Belgium has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 12 of the last 12 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 8 out of 12 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 12 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

 Belgium is going through a great phase throughout 2017, remaining undefeated in this year, having accumulated six consecutive victories in that period, having not conceded a goal in three of them, while in that invincible round the team scored twenty-six goals, thus evidencing its offensive superiority. 
This will be the Belgians's second performance after the World Cup qualifiers ended in which they finished in the lead of Group H, thus securing their place in the 2018 World Cup. 
In its last match, the Belgian National Team faced Mexico at home and carried out a very balanced game, that ended with a (3-3) draw, with highlight for Lukaku, who scored twice. 
Coach Roberto Martinez is likely to keep the team in 5-3-2 or 3-4-2-1, with Eden Hazard next to Lukaku in the attack.

Confirmed Lineup: Simon Mignolet, Thomas Meunier, Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Vermaelen, Christian Kabasele, Nacer Chadli, Kevin De Bruyne, Axel Witsel, Dries Mertens, Romelu Lukaku, Thorgan Hazard.
Coach: R. Martínez Montoliú.

Analysis Japan

The away team plays its 5th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Japan (1‑3) Brazil, Japan (3‑3) Haiti, Japan (2‑1) New Zealand and Japan (1‑1) Syria. In the last 6 away matches Japan has won 3, tied 2 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 10 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 8 of them.

Japan plays its fourth friendly match after the World Cup Qualifying, but the first one away from home, trying to find the way to victory. 
Before losing against Brazil last week, the Japanese registered a 3-2 draw against the weak Haiti. However, the Japanese national team is still motivated after having qualified in the leadership of its qualifying group, thus guaranteeing the presence in the 2018 World Cup. 
Of the six matches played in 2017 at home, Japan won three, and in two of them did conceded any goal. 
Its last victory in an official match was against Australia, by the qualifying tournament, by (2-0). 
The coach should keep the team in the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, with highlight for Ōsako in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: Eiji Kawashima, Hiroki Sakai, Yuto Nagatomo, Maya Yoshida, Tomoaki Makino, Kazuki Nagasawa, Takuma Asano, Yosuke Ideguchi, Hotaru Yamaguchi, Genki Haraguchi, Yuya Osako.
Coach: H. Moriyasu.
