Group G | Belgium Vs Tunisia: What To Expect And The Predicted Line-Ups As Belgium Look To Stretch Unbeaten Run

Belgium Vs Tunisia

Belgium vs Tunisia, Group G| Saturday, 23 June|

[spacer height=”20px”]

The round 2 for Group G starts with Belgium taking on Tunisia, who slipped to a narrow 2-1 late defeat against Harry Kane’s England. Belgium will have all eyes on booking a seat in the round of 16 with a win over the Eagles of Carthage in today’s Belgium Vs Tunisia clash, who have very little hopes of qualifying.

This will be an interesting game as a victory will lead one nation to progress and the other one to exit in the early stages. Belgium will be very much aware of their opponent’s physicality who kept the game locked in at 1-1 against England only to concede a last minute winner.

Head-To-Head:

The two nations have met three times before with both winning once and sharing a draw. The last Belgium Vs Tunisia meeting was a friendly in 2014 where Dries Mertens grabbed a late winner to lead Belgium to a 1-0 victory.

Belgium:

[spacer height=”20px”] 

After easing past a weak Panama side with a 3-0 victory, Belgium will be looking to continue their 19 game unbeaten record with a win against Tunisia which will see them qualify to the round of 16 with a game to spare. Belgium look solid in both attack and defense having conceded just 1 goal in and netting 14 in their last 5 games. Although starting slowly has always been a problem with each of The Red Devils’ last 11 World Cup goals coming after half time, they will need to show urgency from the very start of the Belgium Vs Tunisia game.

Thomas Vermaelen, who has returned to training is unlikely to be risked in the Belgium Vs Tunisia game but will hope to be fit for Belgium’s final game against England.

[spacer height=”20px”]

[spacer height=”20px”]

“People expect a lot but we have seen during this World Cup — except for the first match involving Russia — that almost all the matches have been won with either a one- or two-goal difference.

[spacer height=”20px”]

“We won 3-0 so that’s not bad.

[spacer height=”20px”]

“Everyone always expects a lot from Belgium, that we always play perfect football, that we have 80 percent possession, that we have 50 shots at goal and score 40 times!

[spacer height=”20px”]

“But it doesn’t work like that. Sometimes you have difficult matches and you only win 1-0. The most important thing is that we win our games. We have so much talent in the squad that it’s not surprising people expect a lot.”[spacer height=”20px”]

Key Players:

[spacer height=”20px”]

Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United)

[spacer height=”20px”]

After scoring a brace in the opening fixture against Panama, the Manchester United man will be looking to continue his superb form and add to his tally in today’s Belgium Vs Tunisia match to see his nation qualify to round of 16 with a game to spare.

[spacer height=”20px”]

[spacer height=”20px”]

Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)

[spacer height=”20px”]

Although it took 49 minutes for De Bruyne to make his first key pass of the game but the Manchester City’s 2017 player of the season who claimed a fine assist for Romelu Lukaku’s first goal in the 69th minute has a lot in his locker to offer and could be hugely influential in pulling the strings from midfield. He is capable of producing magic at any moment of the game.

Predicted Lineup For Belgium

[spacer height=”20px”]

Tunisia:

[spacer height=”20px”]

Winning games is still a problem for Tunisia who are winless in their last 12 World Cup games something they will be hoping to turn around. A defeat against The Red Devils will confirm their exit from the World Cup with a game to spare. Although they will take some encouragement from their late defeat to England where they almost stood firm and did not allow England to score until late on, but they are unlikely to break a star studded Belgium side.

[spacer height=”20px”]

[spacer height=”20px”]

Squad:

[spacer height=”20px”]

Goalkeepers : Farouk Ben Mustapha (Al Shabab), Moez Hassen (Chateauroux), Aymen Mathlouthi (Al Baten).

[spacer height=”20px”]

Defenders : Rami Bedoui (Etoile du Sahel), Yohan Benalouane (Leicester), Syam Ben Youssef (Kasimpasa), Dylan Bronn (Gent), Oussama Haddadi (Dijon), Ali Maaloul (Al Ahly), Yassine Meriah (CS Sfaxien), Hamdi Nagguez (Zamalek).

[spacer height=”20px”]

Midfielders : Anice Badri (Esperance), Mohamed Amine Ben Amor (Al Ahli Riyadh), Ghaylene Chaalali (Esperance), Ahmed Khalil (Club Africain), Saifeddine Khaoui (Troyes), Ferjani Sassi (Al Nasr), Ellyes Skhiri (Montpellier), Naim Sliti (Dijon), Bassem Srarfi (Nice).

[spacer height=”20px”]

Forwards : Fakhreddine Ben Youssef (Al Ittifaq), Saber Khalifa (Club Africain), Wahbi Khazri (Rennes).

Key Players:

[spacer height=”20px”]

Wahbi Khazri (Sunderland)

[spacer height=”20px”]

Tunisia’s main man did not see things go his way due to lack of possession against England when a Harry Kane late winner sunk them but will be hoping to move on from that and cause an upset for Belgium in the Belgium Vs Tunisia game.

[spacer height=”20px”]

Khazri told FourFourTwo:

[spacer height=”20px”]

“For the first 25 minutes we were playing perfectly, but we sagged in the second half, we lost the rhythm. Now we are set to meet Belgium, they have a fantastic squad, but we will try to score. The support of our (Tunisian) and Russian fans in the stands were just amazing, thanks to them”
