England National Football Team Vs Belgium National Football Team Lineups is the most important because it give you more clarity about the future match prediction.
England will look to rebound from their narrow defeat against Brazil and build upon it ahead of Euro 2024, while Belgium drew against Ireland.
Gareth Southgate faces his most serious injury crisis to date as England coach; among those missing are Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka. Manchester United teenagers Jarrad Branthwaite and Kobbie Mainoo could make their debuts.
England Lineup
England will host Belgium at Wembley Stadium for an international friendly that is designed to help Gareth Southgate’s side rebound from their disappointing 2-0 loss against Brazil on Saturday evening. England are set to be without key players Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka for this clash against a Belgian side that made numerous errors in its own Nations League group stage opener against Ireland last Saturday, further compounding England’s chances of success against them.
Southgate will entrust Morgan Rogers, Jarrad Branthwaite, Tino Livramento and James Trafford with taking up the challenge when they step onto the pitch on Tuesday. Rogers and Trafford will make their national team debut, while Branthwaite and Livramento have previously only featured once for England.
After England’s 4-0 loss against Brazil at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday, English manager Gareth Southgate has not altered his squad and could stick with the starting XI from that match at Wembley – meaning Ben Chilwell would stay on left flank and Joe Gomez leading up front.
Declan Rice should keep his spot as Arsenal’s tough enforcer in midfield; Kobbie Mainoo could potentially come in to replace him if necessary. In attack, Marcus Rashford should continue playing despite an underwhelming showing against Brazil while Ivan Toney hopes to add one more England cap to his collection.
As England are struggling to replace Saka and Kane after they were injured, Southgate could opt for some experience against an inexperienced Belgian side. That may mean pairing Ezri Konsa with Jarrod Bowen in central midfield; Konsa can offer more attacking threat than against Brazil while Bowen will provide stability in defence. Joao Moutinho or Ollie Watkins might get included on England’s right flank but Toney may get favoured due to his track record against Brazil – Toney may get included depending on his performance against Belgium as Toney may get his chance once more to impress against Belgium if he can deliver in this matchup versus Belgium’s inexperienced squad compared with Brazil;
Belgium Lineup
Gareth Southgate will hope that his England side can turn around their lackluster performance against Ireland to face Belgium in their final Euro 2024 warm-up friendly at Wembley Stadium before starting their tournament campaign in June. They must not enter this match on an unfavorable note in front of their own supporters or risk starting off their tournament campaign on a losing note before their competition kicks off!
Even without Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, Belgium still boasts plenty of talent in their squad. Under new manager Domenico Tedesco’s watch they have seen improvement under his reign and look set to build upon their fourth place finish at last year’s World Cup.
Former Real Madrid coach has chosen to construct his team with Everton full-backs Amadou Onana and Orel Mangala, Lyon defender Youri Tielemans and Ajax midfielder Arthur Vermeeren serving as solid bases. These players will provide support for fast forwards such as Youri Dijkmans, Amadou Bakayoko and Jeremy Doku who possess the pace needed to penetrate opposition defences on either flank.
With the exception of Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, England have kept most of their squad unchanged from their last match against Brazil. Jordan Pickford will likely retain goalkeeper duties while Ben Chilwell and Kyle Walker should both make an appearance on left back, while Manchester United youngster Kobbie Mainoo and Brentford winger Jude Bellingham could all feature as part of England’s left back tandem.
Gareth Southgate could select the same midfield lineup that started against Ireland, with John Stones, Ezri Konsa, and Jarrad Branthwaite likely to remain. However, Southgate could give Manchester City teenager Declan Rice and Arsenal’s newly signed Kobbie Mainoo another chance after both impressed off the bench against Ireland – their performances could earn them spots on England’s European Championship squad later in June. Other players who may get another shot include Aston Villa’s Scott Hogan Lukebakio of Leeds United’s Marcus Rashford from Manchester United and Aston Villa’s Scott Hogan alongside Aston Villa’s Scott Hogan; Aston Villa’s Scott Hogan plus Lukebakio from Leeds as well as Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford from Manchester United among many more!
Injury Updates
Gareth Southgate’s side are facing another injury crisis as they prepare for a March friendly against Belgium. Manchester United duo Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker were ruled out due to injury, while Arsenal midfielder Bukayo Saka had also dropped out due to illness. That opens up more chances for Kobbie Mainoo who may make his full England debut after impressing during a late cameo against Brazil; Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, Liverpool Joe Gomez and Brentford striker Ivan Toney should all feature.
Cole Palmer and Sam Johnstone are set to return for England despite missing their participation in last weekend’s 1-0 defeat by Brazil, though Johnstone may remain as backup keeper while Liverpool defender Palmer may return in order to provide cover at centre-back alongside John Stones and Lewis Dunk.
Southgate may choose to give Arsenal’s Kouyate Sissoko an opportunity to fill in for Maguire or Walker at center-back; having impressed during a cameo appearance against Brazil. Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Brentford’s Ivan Toney are also competing to be Kane’s understudy.
Belgium have also suffered injuries with Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku both sidelined due to injury – with Lukaku suffering a groin strain during their 0-0 draw against Ireland at the weekend – hampering Domenico Tedesco as he looks to build momentum leading up to Euro 2024.
Still, Belgium remains an experienced side and should provide England with a tough test at Wembley Stadium. Their visitors have won all four previous meetings against England without losing a game since 2003 and remain undefeated during that span. Kickoff time for this match begins at 7.45pm BST; live coverage can be found both BT Sport and Sky Sports as well as Talksport radio in the UK; you can follow all the action via our live blog below.
Prediction
England and Belgium meet at Wembley for a friendly match that will provide both sides an opportunity to gain match practice ahead of Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate will look to bounce back after England’s loss against Brazil by testing his squad out prior to tournament.
Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane and Kyle Walker’s absence this week has exposed a gaping hole in England’s injury list – potentially providing Ezri Konsa, Jarrad Branthwaite and Kobbie Mainoo an opportunity to establish themselves.
Belgium will look to put their poor performance against Ireland behind them and demonstrate their potential against higher level opposition. They have mostly faced weak opponents since the World Cup, making their performances hard to assess; but when faced with teams of a more adequate calibre they seem to score freely.
At 1.91, Over 2.5 goals is an attractive bet. Given both sides have many offensive threats on display in this matchup, we think Over 2.5 goals is worth exploring further.
England have had the upper hand in previous meetings against Belgium, winning all three meetings between them. This latest match comes following England’s shock loss against Brazil and disappointing draw against Ireland; both sides will be determined to avenge those results with victory on Tuesday evening. Home advantage should play into England’s hands; John Stones, Ben Chilwell and Declan Rice should prove valuable assets towards securing an impressive three Lions result at Wembley.
