Belgium v England: Preview

After a heart-breaking Semi-Final loss to Croatia, England now take on Belgium for the second time in this tournament, as they fight it out in Russia on Saturday for the third-place spot.

England have a decent record against Belgium, but Roberto Martínez’s men have already beaten them 1-0 in the group stages, and so bookmakers offer the Belgians as favourites to win.

If you’re having a bet on the match, make sure you check the betting offers and price boosts that you can use when betting on the 3rd Place Play-Off; Belgium v England.

Belgium beat England in the group stages of WC 2018, and meant that they finished top, while England secured 2nd and went on the beat Sweden in the Quarter-Finals.

Although Belgium won that group match, both sides fielded weaker teams, and England did win the 2 previous clashes and so Gareth Southgate’s side won’t be a walkover for Belgium.

It will be an interesting match, and even though bookmakers offer Belgium as the favourites, there is no reason why England can’t win and take 3rd place at WC 2018.

Belgium have proven themselves as one of the stronger teams in the competition, finishing top of their group and knocking out one of the top teams in the competition, the favourites Brazil.

Unfortunately for them, being pitted against France in the Semi-Finals was always going to be tough, and while they put up a respectable fight, they inevitably lost to a stronger side.

It was a disappointing result for Martínez, who was confident of making it to the final, and they will be determined to secure another victory over England to take 3rd place in the competition.

England have also had their best campaign since 1990, and although they suffered a devastating loss to Croatia, Gareth Southgate will be determined to bring something home!

While the English side have played pretty well together throughout the tournament, Southgate may opt to mix things up and rotate the squad ahead of the Belgium game.

Luckily there aren’t many injury concerns for England, with Kieran Trippier potentially missing the match as he's nursing a groin injury that he sustained towards the end of the last match.

Bookmakers offer Belgium as the favourites to win, however this will probably be a very close game as it both teams will want to claim bronze rather than nothing at all.

Belgium have performed much better than England during WC 2018, have a better shots on target accuracy (36 v 23) and maintained slightly more possession in their matches.

In saying that, both teams have a lot of top Premier League players and so many of them will want to return to their respective clubs with bragging rights before the start of the new season.
