Overview
- The official starting XIs were published Sunday with Italy naming Pio Esposito to lead the attack and Belgium starting Charles De Ketelaere while Romelu Lukaku is on the bench.
- Italy need one point to reach the quarter-finals and a victory would move them above France in the group because of a superior head-to-head record.
- Italy arrive in Brussels on the back of a 3-1 comeback win over France on Thursday in which Pio Esposito scored twice and helped shift momentum in Roberto Mancini’s team.
- Belgium sit third in Group A1, one point behind Italy, having recovered with a win in Turkey but still coping with recent injuries that have affected selection decisions.
- Broadcast arrangements vary by country with UK viewers able to buy the match on Amazon Prime Video for £2.49, free streams on RAI Play, VTM GO and Virgin Media Play in some territories, and US coverage on Fox Sports 2 from 2:45pm ET.
