Tactical matchup
Belgium line up in a 4-3-3, Senegal in a 3-4-3. With little between the sides, control of the central zones and second balls should decide territory. The midfield — Kevin De Bruyne and Youri Tielemans against Idrissa Gueye and Lamine Camara — is where the game is likely won. In a knockout tie the first goal and set pieces carry outsized weight, with caution often trumping early ambition.
