Both England and Belgium have done just what most of us expected they would and won their two games against lesser opposition. England top the group but only on fairplay so a draw and less bookings/sending-offs than Belgium will see them win the group and face either Senegal, Colombia or Japan.  It is possible though that it could even go down to the drawing of lots over who wins the group if the game is drawn and the fairplay becomes level too with both sides having already scored eight and conceded twice.  England have been looking good in their first two games but there are still a lot of questions over this young and inexperienced England side, particularly in defence.  They come into this game unbeaten in their last 12 games and only lost one of their last 11 games against Belgium, though they have only met once this century. Gareth Southgate has indicated that he will make some changes for this match with perhaps Rashford and Rose getting games. 

Belgium have also won their first two games in this group and already they have declared that a weaker side will be played in this match. They have a strong squad though and players such as Dembele, Fellaini and Januzaj are more than capable of making life difficult for any team. The Belgians are unbeaten in their last 21 games but still at times, just like their opponents, don't look that great at the back. This isn't easy to predict considering the possible changes that will be made to the line-ups but a bet on over 2.5 goals looks to be one that could well be a winner.
