An entertaining 90-minutes expected at Stade Roi Baudouin
Belgium's last game, a friendly at home to Burkina Faso, proved to be a fairly run of the mill performance by the Red Devils, who rested many of their star players. Vanaken put the home side 1-0 up in the 16th-minute and 2-minutes later, Trossard made it 2-0. The second half only produced one goal and it was Benteke who scored it with 15-minutes left on the clock, Trossard turned provider on this occasion.
Belgium Predicted Lineup: Courtois, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Meunier, Castagne, Witsel, De Bruyne, Tielemans, Mertens, Lukaku & E. Hazard.
The Netherlands went toe-to-toe with Germany in their last international match at the Johan Cruijff Arena. The first half appeared to be ending goalless only for Muller to put Germany in front in stoppage-time. The Netherlands came out fighting in the second forty-five and got back onto level terms in the 68th-minute through Bergwijn after good work down the right-hand side by Dumfries. The game ended in a draw which was probably a fair result on the balance of play.
Netherlands Predicted Lineup: Cillessen, de Vrij, van Dijk, Blind, Dumfries, de Jong, Klaassen, Til, Depay, Bergwijn & Weghorst
