Belgium v Italy team news
Belgium: Martinez is sweating on the fitness of De Bruyne and Hazard. The Manchester City man twisted his ankle in the win over Italy, while Hazard appeared to pull a hamstring.
If neither feature then Dries Mertens and Yannick Carrasco should come into the XI. Thorgan Hazard should get the nod again, while Romelu Lukaku will start up front.
Italy: Giorgio Chiellini will hope to be fit but is carrying a thigh injury, while there is less optimism around Alessandro Florenzi’s availability.
Mancini recycled his entire forward line against Austria and could well do the same again here. Federico Chiesa inspired their win when coming off the bench and could now get a start.

Our prediction: Belgium v Italy
Belgium held firm against Portugal despite a barrage of pressure from Cristiano Ronaldo and co. in Seville – and their defensive resolve will once again be tested here. Indeed, this could be as far as the Golden Generation get in this tournament.
Italy have performed well at Euro 2020 and look fresh heading into this encounter. Mancini’s ability to freely change his forward line and not worsen their goalscoring chances is a gift many managers would love to have.
Even with Hazard and De Bruyne this would be a tough game for Belgium. But without the star duo? It looks as though Italy will pinch this contest.
Our prediction: Belgium 1-2 Italy (10/1 at bet365)
