NESN.com’s picks: Belgium, over
This truly feels like Belgium’s year. They were complete in all thirds in the group stage, and though Japan isn’t to be taken lightly, it’s safe to say Belgium is the safe bet here.

Belgium tallied the most goals in the group stage, with Japan both conceding and scoring four. If Japan wants to win, it will have to score goals. And if Belgium wins, rest assured their will be plenty of tallies. The point remains either way, go with the over.
