Belgium's forward line remains largely unchanged from four years ago, with Romelu Lukaku in the center and captain Eden Hazard on the left. Although Eden Hazard's form has dipped since his few appearances at Real Madrid, his ball control on the Belgian side is still solid, and the whole team will be attacking with him at the heart of the lineup, as he is now more of an organizer on the left side of the field rather than a powerful breakout player.
There's also young striker Michy Batshuayi, who has been on the bench for years under Lukaku's prowess but has been able to get a start in recent matches, and the right winger is now usually played by midfield general De Bruyne, who was often given the chance to get forward on the attack to great effect at City, and who has been more involved in the attack in Belgium as well. There is also the powerful breakaway winger Yannick Carrasco and veteran Dries Mertens, who will also rotate up front.
The two backs in the midfield are mainly given to Axel Witsel and Youri Tielemans, they are one defender and one attacker, Witsel has a wide range of running in the defensive end, while Tielemans presses forward with the ball and shoots from a distance, which is his specialty. In addition, Everton's Onana, with a height of 192, Amadou Onana plays very tough football in the Premier League and is a fierce defensive back, as well as Aston Villa's Leander Dendoncker, who has a good sense of position and can use his running position to effectively restrain the opponent's attack, and he can even retreat into the back line from time to time to turn into a center back, as mentioned above. The two men are very tall, Witsel's height is also 186, Belgium can be completely from a balanced attack and defense of the back of the combination of conversion into a long man formation to play intensive defense, this flexible and obvious characteristics of the four midfielders is Belgium's biggest advantage.
