Belgium takes on the visitors England at “Saint-Petersburg Stadium” in the battle for the third place of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Saint Petersburg on Saturday, July 14th.
Unfortunately for Belgians, their A-team didn’t manage to promote to the final clash of the FIFA World Cup for the first time in its history. Roberto Martinez’s side broke its 24-match unbeaten series, having lost 0:1 to France in the semi-final tackle of this Mundial. Frankly speaking, “Les Diables Rouges” looked a bit weaker than the French, thus, the outcome of that fight was fair. The upcoming hosts come up to the encounter against England with five victories and single defeat, having scored 14 for and six goals against at the current FIFA World Cup.

In its turn, England was leading for quite a long time in the semi-final game against Croatia, having however, gained just 1:1 draw in the statutory playing time. As a result, the team has to conduct extra 30 minutes of football in which it conceded the crucial goal while Gareth Southgate’s side has no time as well as physical and moral strength left for covering the goal deficit. Thus, eventual 1:2 defeat which allows “The Three Lions” to appear only in the clash for the third place. At this Mundial England collected three triumphs, two draws and single loss with 12 goals for and six goals against.
Belgium and England have already met at this Mundial during the group stage when the Belgians celebrated 1:0 victory on the 28th of June. In regards to the forthcoming encounter, there are quite some goals usually combined in the tackles for the third place. Hence, I believe that the opponents will continue this tradition as well.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
