National Team Coach: Roberto Martínez

Roberto Martínez has been Belgium head coach since before the FIFA World Cup 2018 where Belgium performed pretty well and it took eventual champions France to knockout Belgium in the semifinals of the tournament. Alot more is expected from this squad which is reaching its peak and Martinez must get to the final for this campaign to be a success.

Possible Starting Lineup:

Belgium are likely to play 3-4-3 system which have worked so well under Roberto Martinez. The system utilize the some of the top Belgium players in a way it plays to their strengths. A fit hazard on the left with Lukaku leading the line and Kevin De Bruyne playing in advance role on the right side of the attack. Yuri Tielemans and Witsel to deployed in central midfield roles while Castagne and Munier to play as wingbacks. Alderweireld, Denayer and Vertoghen to play as 3 man defense ahead of inform Thibaut Courtois.

That is the full stength Belgium side however considering injuries and played availability this system is quite flexible with fringle players like Mertens, Carrasco, Thorgan Hazard available as like to like replacments.

Players To Watch out For: There are usual suspects of Hazard, De Bruyne but this Belgium side is much more than just the individual brilliance. Players like Yuri Tielesman who had a impressive season with Leicester City will be one to watch out for who Roberto Martinez will be hoping will help control the midfield and pace of the game alongside Witsel.
