On September 3, 2017, the Belgian men's national football team qualified for the 2018 World Cup in Russia for the 13th time by finishing first in Group H of the European zone. With the emergence of a large number of young talents in recent years, Belgium may repeat the performance of the "European Red Devils".

Brazil

In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Brazil accumulated 7 points from 3 games, 2 wins and 1 draw, and qualified as the first in Group E.

At the moment, Brazil's main formation is a balanced 4-3-3 formation. The front three of Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho are aggressive, while Casemiro, who has just won three consecutive Champions League titles, is the most crucial part of Brazil's midfield defence. Through the strong control and defensive ability of the midfield, the attackers in the front court are fully liberated, and the unfixed position of the front trident is the absolute killer weapon of the Brazilian team when attacking.

However, the biggest problem facing the Brazilian team at the moment is still the injury problem, after a long period of recuperation, the form of Brazil's top star Neymar still needs to be tested by the game, and the frequent injuries of players such as Marcelo, Coutinho and Jesus in the Europa League this season are also an instability factor. Therefore, if all the players stay healthy, it is not an extravagant hope to make it all the way to the top podium in the knockout rounds.

There is no doubt that Neymar, who has been controversial this season, is the absolute heart and backbone of the current Brazilian team. If Neymar is in good form, Brazil's playmaking, organisation, off-ball movement and ability to deliver the lethal blow are all things that Brazil rely on. Therefore, judging from the experience of the last World Cup, Neymar's personal performance will also affect the road to the World Cup victory for the Brazilian team.

As the most talented Samba No. 9 in the Brazilian team after Ronaldo, Manchester City youngster Gabriel Jesus is another key figure in the Brazilian team. Gabriel Jesus' contribution to Manchester City has dropped a bit this season due to injury, but he still has 17 goals and three assists throughout the season. In the national team, with more killers like Neymar who attract defensive firepower for themselves, there will be more room for Gasus to play, and we also expect the new star to put on a more subtle performance in the World Cup.

A review of Brazil's path to qualification:

At 2 o'clock in the morning on June 18, Beijing time, the focus of the 2018 Russia World Cup Group E battle started at the Rostov-on-Don Stadium in Rostov-on-Don, with the five-star Brazil facing the European upstart Switzerland, the two teams launched a fierce confrontation in the first half of the game, Neymar was frequently put down, Casemiro was hit, Silva was stuffed, with Coutinho's world wave knocked on the Swiss goal, the Brazilian team led 1:0, the Swiss team was too rough on the offensive end, and Switzerland equalized the score through a corner header in the second half.

At 20 o'clock on June 22, Beijing time, the first game of the second round of Group E of the World Cup was played in St. Petersburg, and Brazil defeated Costa Rica 2-0. In the first half, Gabriel Jesus scored the ball but it was ruled offside. In the second half, Gabriel Jesus hit the crossbar. Neymar went down in the box to win a penalty, but the referee cancelled the penalty after watching a VAR replay. In stoppage time, Coutinho scored in two consecutive games, and substitute Douglas Costa assisted Neymar to score.

At two o'clock in the morning on June 28, Beijing time, Group E of the World Cup will usher in a key match, Brazil against Serbia. With Paulinho's back goal, Brazil led 1-0 to end the first half; In the second half, Neymar assisted Thiago Silva's header from a corner kick, and Brazil won 2-0 to advance to the round of 16 as group winners.

Analysis of Belgian strength

Belgium is currently ranked 3rd in the world and 2nd in Europe.

Including the two wins in this tournament, Belgium are unbeaten in 21 consecutive matches in all competitions, the longest unbeaten run in team history, and their last defeat was back in 2016, in which Belgium have a record of 16 wins and five draws, a win rate of nearly 80%.

Belgium is unbeaten in 14 consecutive games against European teams, with 10 wins and 4 draws during this period, and has a big advantage in the European zone.

Belgium match analysis:

The Belgian team can be described as smooth sailing, the last round of the group stage against England, in the situation of both teams qualifying in advance, both sent a second set of lineups to fight, and finally Belgium won three consecutive wins in the group stage to advance to the round of 16. In the final round of the game, the Japanese team was less yellow than its rival Senegal, so it bet that Senegal would not equalize or defeat Colombia, and finally the gamble was successful, and Japan lost 0-1 to Poland and was lucky to advance to the round of 16 due to the lack of yellow cards.

Judging from the overall strength of the two teams, the Belgian team has a clear advantage. Several players up front: Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Mertens and Romelu Lukaku, all have very strong individual ability, and from this World Cup, the Belgian team has become more and more mature in the frontcourt. In terms of individual ability, Belgium is also stronger than Japan, in terms of physical confrontation, although there are several players in the Belgian frontcourt who are smaller, but because they play in the European arena, especially in the Premier League, physical confrontation is also commonplace for them, and the Japanese team is obviously lacking in physical confrontation, so the Belgian team has the absolute upper hand in this game.
