Belgium Panama betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match between two teams with a great difference of quality, and for this reason, it’s foreseeable that Belgium will dominate the whole match and creates more danger to the opponent. In addition, the Belgians want to start this World Championship on the right foot, meaning they should enter in a very offensive way during the first half. On the other hand, Panama must act with a very direct strategy, but without great success. So, and taking into account these factors, risking in favor of the Belgians at the halftime seems to have great value.

Preview
Belgium and Panama face , in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Group Stage). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them.

Analysis Belgium

The team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this edition of the competition. They come to this match after a win against Costa Rica by (4‑1). Belgium has won 8 and tied 2 of the last 10 matches. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their matches there is a tendency for goals, since 20 of the last 23 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 16 out of 23 have ended with Over 2,5 goals.

Having qualified without a doubt, Belgium starts as one of the great promises for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. However, we recall that the Belgians were already well-rated in Euro 2016, however, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Wales. Usually, the coach Roberto Martínez plays in 3-4-3 benefiting from ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the flanks: De Bruyne is largely responsible for creating and organizing the team's offensive process. On the other hand, Hazard is the great star of this team, being this very technical player and expert in the exploration of spaces in the opponent’s defensive line. In doubt for this match is Thomas Vermaelen due to a muscle injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Thibaut Courtois, Thomas Meunier, Jan Vertonghen, Dedryk Boyata, Toby Alderweireld, Yannick Carrasco, Kevin De Bruyne, Axel Witsel, Dries Mertens, Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard.
Coach: R. Martínez Montoliú.

Analysis Panama

The team had direct access to this group stage. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got loss against Norway by (1‑0). In the last 10 matches Panama has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 16 of the last 31 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 20 out of 31 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

The Panamanian national team doesn’t have a great history at world level and the only achievement in their history was a Central American Cup in the 2008/2009 season. In the 2017 Gold Cup, Panama were eliminated by Costa Rica in the quarter-finals. In this difficult match against Belgium, the coach Hernán Gómez should keep the team in 4-2-3-1 with Blas Pérez the best man: this player is the star of this national team, who is very competent in finishing. Note that the Panamians have several failures in maintaining the ball possession and in the defensive transition. For this match, the coach of Panama must use an eleven very similar to the last preparation match.

Confirmed Lineup: Jaime Penedo, Michael Murillo, Eric Davis, Róman Torres, Fidel Escobar, Gabriel Gómez, Édgar Bárcenas, Aníbal Godoy, Armando Cooper, José Rodríguez, Blas Pérez.
