Lille is preparing to host the second quarterfinal match of the European championship.
Belgium is quite a surprise in the 1/8 finals defeated Hungary, thrice finishing off the “Magyars” on the counter. Wales in the opening round of the playoffs and nearly did not show the game, thanks to which the Welsh brilliantly passed the group stage. Only thanks to an own goal, bale and company were able to pass
Northern Ireland.
Belgium is coming to the quarterfinals with significant personnel problems – Marc Wilmots in today’s match can not count on two key defenders (Vertonghen and Vermaelen), and the hazard is at issue. Wales going into the match without injured, suspended.
On the eve of the quarterfinal is not superfluous to recall that Wales and Belgium have met twice in qualification for the European championship. Both matches were played on the same scenario – the Belgians attacked the Welsh defended well and did not forget to look for the chance on the counterattack. The rate of work Wales – 0:0 on the road and minimal home win at the expense of the goals of Gareth Bale. Something like we see today…
The winner of the match Wales – Belgium in the semi-final of Euro 2016 will play against Portugal. The team of Fernando Santos before the penalty shoot-out was held poles.
Preliminary formulations:
Wales: Hennessey – Gunter, Chester, Williams, Davies, Taylor – Allen, Leadley, Ramsey, Bale, VOX
Belgium: Courtois – J. Lukaku, Denier, Alderweireld, Meunier – Witsel, Nainggolan, Hazard, De Bruyne, Mertens R. Lukaku
Stream: TRK “Ukraine”, 22:00
Prediction: 0:2
