Belgium vs Senegal Preview

One of the more curious campaigns of the World Cup so far continues, as Belgium, who have huffed and puffed in every game, take on Senegal.

Much was expected from Belgium heading into the tournament, as it always is but they underwhelmed in their opening two games against Egypt and Iran.

However, they saved face with a big win over New Zealand and now progress to the last 32 with momentum behind them.

Senegal meanwhile were always up against it in their group, having to contend with France and Norway but their final game win over Iraq saw them progress to the knockout stages, with very little to lose on paper.

This should be a very good game in Seattle, with neither side particularly interested in defending and it should also be a clash of footballing ideologies.

Here is a look ahead to Belgium vs Senegal:

Heading into the final game of the group, there was genuine concern that Belgium may struggle to reach the knockout rounds.

However, a thumping 5-1 win over New Zealand boosted morale around their World Cup campaign and they look to have a spring in their step all of a sudden.

The impact of the likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku continues to be huge on this team, despite their aging profile and both men are capable of winning any game single handedly.

Senegal carry plenty of threats of their own, especially in forward and wide areas but they may find this Belgian side a tough nut to crack.

This should be a very watchable encounter, with Belgium seemingly well placed to win it.

In all three games they have played in the tournament so far, Senegal have provided plenty of excitement and this one should be no different.

They pushed France and Norway all the way in high scoring encounters, before turning on the style to smash Iraq and reach the knockouts.

As a result, this one is a complete free hit and Senegal should play with little abandon, but Belgium prefer to go toe to toe and they should come out on top in a high scorer.

Best Value Bet

While most of the World Cup last 32 games have been cagey affairs, this one between Belgium and Senegal could be frenetic.

There is a methodology to Belgium in the middle of the park, but they can lack pace in wide areas and at the back, potentially leaving them a little exposed.

Senegal meanwhile have been involved in some goal fests already and neither side will back down in pursuit of progression to the last 16 in this one, meaning the goals could flow.
