Belgium vs Portugal prediction: How will the Euro 2020 fixture play out today?

Belgium play Portugal in the last 16 of Euro 2020 at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville on Sunday, with a quarter-final against Italy awaiting the winners.

The Red Devils come into the knockout stages in fine form and have won each of their three matches at the tournament so far.

Roberto Martinez’s side were frustrated in the first half against Finland but an own goal and a Romelu Lukaku strike secured all three points.

Meanwhile, Portugal escaped Group F on a frantic final day of the group stage as Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice from the spot to secure a 2-2 draw with world champions France.

Belgium: Courtois, Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Meunier, T.Hazard, De Bruyne, Witsel, Tielemans, Lukaku, E.Hazard
