Belgium and Senegal will face each other today in their fight to advance to the 1/8 finals of the 2026 World Cup. The match will take place in Seattle at 9:00 p.m. UK time (10:00 p.m. CET). The winner of this match will face the USA or Bosnia and Herzegovina in the next round.
Belgium's squad includes many Serie A players. The most prominent among them is Kevin De Bruyne, who will lead the game in midfield after a difficult season in Napoli. Charles De Ketelaere from Atalanta will play in attack, which is quite an unexpected choice as a false nine. Zeno Debasta is missing in defense because he is struggling with muscle problems. Belgium have had mixed results at the tournament so far, drawing with Egypt and Iran and winning 5-1 against New Zealand.
Senegal, after defeats against France and Norway, defeated Iraq 5-0, which ensured their advancement to this stage. The only Serie A player in Senegal's squad is Assane Diao from Como, who is counting on his appearance from the bench. Unfortunately, goalkeeper Edouard Mendy was forced out of the game just before the match due to an injury, and his place will be taken by Yevhann Diouf, who is making his debut in this edition of the championship.
