Belgium vs England, 7.45

England travel to face Belgium in Leuven on Sunday in a Nations League clash which Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has labelled a “must-win” game.

Defeat in the Group A2 fixture would end England’s hopes of reaching the finals of the competition next year.

The hosts currently sit atop the rankings with nine points to show from four games, with England two points adrift of their opponents heading into this crucial game.

Belgium

Belgium, the number one ranked side in the world, will be out for revenge this weekend. Roberto Martinez’s side have only failed to win one game in their Nations League group – with that fateful night at Wembley blowing League A Group 2 wide open in the race to make the finals.

Prior to making the journey to the home of English football, Belgium had not suffered defeat in any competition since losing 5-2 to Switzerland in the 2018-19 Nations League, with Martinez’s men winning 12 of their next 13 games to cement their position at the top of the world rankings.

England

England’s crop of young and up and coming players produced a dominant performance to secure England’s first win over the Republic of Ireland since 1985 with a 3-0 win at Wembley on Thursday, with Harry Maguire, Jadon Sancho and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all finding the back of the net.

The talent in England’s ranks is unquestionable, but the Three Lions are facing an uphill battle to pip either Denmark or Belgium to top spot and make the finals for a second year running.

Predictions:

Over 2.5 Goals @10/11

England Win and BTTS @9/2

BTTS in Both Halves @9/1
