Belgium vs Portugal: team news, head to head record and Probable starting xi

Belgium:

Belgium’s team selection for this match is going to be fascinating. Martinez might start Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard alongside Lukaku in the final third of the field, leaving Dries Mertens on the bench. However, Thorgan Hazard is likely to keep out Yannick Carrasco to feature as the left-sided wing-back for the Red Devils.

Belgium possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Alderweireld, Boyata, Vertonghen; Meunier, Tielemans, Witsel, T Hazard; E Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne

Portugal:

As for Portugal, Nelson Semedo had been expected to miss out with the problem that he picked up against France in the latter stages of Wednesday’s contest, but the defender has trained ahead of his match and should get the nod once again, with Diogo Dalot on standby. Bruno Fernandes could again start on the bench, with Santos likely to stick with the 4-3-3 formation that worked well on Wednesday.

Portugal possible starting lineup:
Patricio; Semedo, Dias, Pepe, Guerreiro; Moutinho, Danilo, Sanches; Bernardo, Ronaldo, Jota
