Belgium take on Italy in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 tonight, in the pick of the last-eight fixtures.

Belgium are arguably favourites to go all the way at this point, following their 1-0 win over holders Portugal in the round of 16 and a strong series of group-stage showings.

Italy, meanwhile, were described as dark horses ahead of the tournament and have been living up to the cautious hype so far. Roberto Mancini’s side required extra time to beat Austria in the last 16 but were thoroughly impressive in the group stage and will be dangerous opponents for Roberto Martinez’s Belgium here.

The two nations go head-to-head in Munich, with a semi-final fixture against the winners of Switzerland vs Spain awaiting the victors.
