England look to get a second win over Belgium in the Women's Nations League. They are second in Group 1 of League A with Belgium in third, two points adrift of their opponents. England are behind the Netherlands on head-to-head results and it's looking as if everything will come down to their meeting at Wembley on December 1 to determine who finishes top and goes into the finals being held next year. Friday saw England get a vital 1-0 home win over Belgium with the winner coming from Lauren Hemp in the 13th minute. That was their third game, having beaten Scotland at home and losing to a last-waste goal in the Netherlands. The Lionesses will need to win this match and hope the Netherlands don't win away at Scotland on the same night. They beat the Scots 4-0 at home on Friday so it's likely the Dutch side will get another win to put the pressure on England.

Belgium still have to play England and Scotland at home and begin this match in the relegation play-off position. The Belgians are three points clear of Scotland who are in the automatic relegation spot. They trail England by two points so really need to win this match if they want to retain hopes of finishing top. The Belgian Red Flames began this group with a 2-1 home win over the Netherlands after conceding the first goal. A 93rd minute goal gave them the surprise win. It's not gone so well for them since then though with a 1-1 draw in Scotland. They led in that game but conceded an equalizer in the 93rd minute. After losing 1-0 against England on Friday, they have now only won one of their last seven matches. England will be all out to get the win here and we believe they can get another narrow victory over the Belgians.
