Football. ua highlights the factors by which the Gareth Southgate national team will win the national team of Belgium.

June 14 will be the penultimate match of the current World Cup - in a match for third place between the teams will compete England and Belgium. The British were in the fight for the bronze after an insulting defeat from the Croats, and the Belgians were weaker than the French.

Football. ua on the eve of the match highlights the reasons why this fight will be stronger than the British.

The desire to prove that defeat in the group was a coincidence So it happened that the meeting of the England and Belgium national teams at the World Cup 2018 will no longer be the first. The draw determined these teams in the same group, so that one encounter behind these rivals already exists. Then the British and the Belgians played the first place, but there was no fight on the field as such. This match was not especially needed for any of the teams, so the coaches used the rotation and the players left the field.

In that match, the team was stronger than Roberto Martinez thanks to the only goal of Adnan Januzai. It seems that the British hold that defeat in their heads and try to prove that it was accidental. In that duel, the British lost not only on account, but also on possession and strikes on the gate, so they will probably want to convince everyone that in fact the England team is stronger than the Belgians.

The motivation of the players of the nearest reserve to prove to the coach that they are worthy to play at the start Gareth Southgate squeezed almost the maximum of the main players of his team, but the reservists of his word did not say.

It is likely that the coach will play some reserve players and they will be full of motivation to prove to the mentor that in the future they should play in the starting lineup.

History of confrontations Historically, England will play against Belgium for the 23rd time and in only two cases the team of "three lions" was defeated. The English beat the Belgians 15 times with five draws and two defeats. The goal difference is 70:26 in favor of England.

It turns out that for the English national team the Belgians are quite a convenient opponent.

To defeat in the last match still you can close your eyes, because then there were reservists on the field, and after the defeat the Southgate team on its way met more simple rivals.
