Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard is a professional footballer who usually plays as an attacking midfielder but will assume the role of an attacker in Belgium national team in Russia World Cup 2018.

According to some people, Eden Hazard is one of the best football players in the world whose skill can be compared to those of Messi and Ronaldo. Others say that he is outright best instead.

Let’s find out how much truth there is in such comments and what is his role in his national team with the upcoming championship. Finally, what are the odds that this player will prove his top-class and lead the team to ultimate victory?

Eden Hazard of Belgium: Facts and Stats

Not only is Hazard a great player, he is also very important for his national team. He is currently the captain of the team and one of the most capped players. He has already played more than 80 matches as a member of the Belgium national squad too.

Eden Hazard odds World Cup are therefore pretty good as he will have many chances to show his talent. We would be surprised if he wasn’t in the starting squad of any match unless some condition or unexpected change affects this.

Anyway, while Hazard isn’t the most capped player, nor is he considered to be the biggest threat to the opponent’s net, his presence can always be felt very clearly in the field, and Belgium would barely be one of the best football teams today if not for him.

Eden Hazard in Russia World Cup 2018

Eden Hazard scored six goals during the qualification to the World Cup 2018. His performance might have been better in his club of Chelsea, but it doesn’t mean that Eden Hazard World Cup odds should drop for that.

Hazard has vast experience in international matches and playing for his nation too, and that shouldn’t be overlooked. In fact, he and Romelu Lukaku is the main duo of Belgium to dominate the opponent’s side of the field and they seem to be doing a pretty good job at it.

After all, he has won Belgian Golden Shoe in 2017 for a reason and it’s the same reason why many fans and experts expect Eden to perform flawlessly in Russia.

Eden Hazard Top Scorer Odds

Eden Hazard top scorer odds World Cup are 40/1, which may not seem like a lot, given his reputation and experience, but the main reason for that is that Hazard isn’t the main goal scorer of the team.

Instead, Lukaku assumes this role and that’s what we saw in the qualifiers. Hazard scored six goals and Lukaku scored nine, while Hazard helped him do it with an impressive job in the midfield and before the front line.

As a result, Lukaku has much better odds, though Hazard is known as a good goalscorer too, hence the top scorer odds being good, but not impressive. Could we expect him to win FIFA Golden Shoe instead? There’s definitely a chance.

Eden Hazard is the captain and one of the main players in current Belgium national team for Russia World Cup 2018.
