Belgium head into Wednesday’s World Cup Round of 32 clash against Africa Cup of Nations finalists Senegal at Seattle Stadium on a strong unbeaten run of 16 matches.
The Red Devils arrive in the knockout stage full of confidence after finishing top of Group G without losing a game. Their campaign began in underwhelming fashion, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Egypt before playing out a goalless stalemate against Iran.
However, Belgium found their rhythm in their final group outing, delivering a dominant 5-1 victory over New Zealand to secure first place on goal difference. That emphatic win highlighted their attacking strength and overall balance, reinforcing their status as a serious contender.
Manager Rudi Garcia has the advantage of working with a nearly fully fit squad, offering plenty of tactical options ahead of this crucial tie.
Jérémy Doku is back in contention after missing time due to the birth of his child and featured in the win over New Zealand.
