England vs Belgium

Gareth Southgate and Domenico Tedesco will have one final opportunity to evaluate their players before Euro 2024 when England goes head to head against Belgium at Wembley on Tuesday. Domenico Tedesco has already signed a new contract that will keep him in the game until 2026. Both teams are coming into the match after poor performances in their first friendly matches last week. Endrick's goal in the second half secured a win for Brazil over England while the Belgians were unable to score against the Republic of Ireland. Check out the important details on how to watch the match and what to expect.

In England, some key players are unable to participate due to injury or fitness concerns. As a result, Declan Rice will take on the role of captain during the team's upcoming game at Wembley. This is a special moment for Rice, as it marks his 50th cap with the Three Lions. He expressed his excitement and gratitude, stating that he was speechless when he found out about the captaincy from coach Southgate.

I embraced him, clasped his hand, and expressed my profound gratitude. I am indebted to him. From the moment I joined the team, he has ensured that I feel welcome, and I am totally at ease performing under his leadership. It is an incredible privilege, evident from my expression.

After changing his national team from Ireland to England in 2019, Rice has become an exceptional midfielder and a crucial player for the team, much like Kane. As the upcoming break approaches, one of the main questions is who will be paired with Rice to support Jude Bellingham. Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United has a chance to prove himself in this position. Moving forward, Gareth Southgate has announced that Ivan Toney will have the opportunity to showcase his skills in a competition against Ollie Watkins to back up Kane.

The match in Dublin resulted in Tedesco maintaining an unbeaten record of 11 games as coach of Belgium. However, there are reasons for concern about their powerful offensive capabilities, which were not fully utilized despite having possession of the ball for 65% of the game. This was somewhat expected due to the absence of key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku. Belgium only managed to shoot nine times, two less than the home team. The game could have ended in loss for Belgium if Matz Sels had not saved a penalty shot from Evan Ferguson.

Sels is likely feeling confident that his recent performance has improved his chances of becoming the team's top goalkeeper. This opportunity has arisen due to Thibaut Courtois's need for further knee surgery. Koen Casteels from Wolfsburg may begin as the starting goalkeeper at the upcoming game at Wembley. However, there is also a possibility of giving some playing time to Thomas Kaminski, who has been performing impressively this season with Luton.

A match between two teams that have been highly modified is not expected to produce great football and it may end up being a forgettable game. Prediction: Neither England nor Belgium will score, resulting in a 0-0 draw.
