In the end, it was easy for Belgium to qualify for the Round of 16.
Roberto Martínez’s side won all three of their group stage fixtures against Russia (3-0), Denmark (2-1) and Finland (2-0) to pick up all nine points on offer and top the group. Cruelly, their prize for claiming the top spot is the opportunity to take on the reigning champions, Portugal, in the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla this Sunday.
Although Portugal have gotten the better of them in recent years, Belgium line up for their weekend fixture enjoying a better run of form than their upcoming opponents, who have struggled to get the better of the bigger sides of the tournament; France 2-2 and Germany 4-2.
Now making their fifth appearance in the knockout stages of a major international tournament (EUROs & World Cup), Belgium fans will be expecting their side to move up a gear and put their past experience into practice.

Although they won’t be lining up against the easiest opponents this Sunday, Portugal are a proven tournament team, especially with the competitions top goalscorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, leading the lines.
