Brazil v Belgium Live Commentary, 7/6/18

Roberto Martinez’s Belgium have approached the tournament in polar-opposite fashion, with Thibaut Courtois allowing four goals in four matches. The Red Devils, however, are more than capable of unlocking a defence, having found the back of the net 12 times so far with eight different goal-scorers. This Belgium side is packed with attacking talent, and they have the ability to punish lazy defending from anywhere on the field.

This World Cup for Brazil has been founded on defensive stability. After conceding in their opening match of the World Cup in a 1-1 draw with Switzerland, Brazil have gone four matches without being compromised at the back, outscoring their opponents 6-0 in three matches since.
