Belgium welcome Denmark to King Power at Den Dreef Stadion on Wednesday for a winner-takes-all Nations League clash.
With one game remaining, Roberto Martinez’s side sit top on 12 points, with second-place Denmark on ten points.
A draw would be enough to Belgium top the group, although a win for Denmark would see them leapfrog Belgium and snatch first place.
Let’s not forget that Belgium beat Denmark in the reverse fixture back on Matchday 1. Goals from Jason Denayer and Dries Mertens handed the Red Devils all three points.
Belgium then crushed Iceland 5-1, with Michy Batshuayi bagging a brace. However, Martinez’s men lost 2-1 to England on Matchday 3.
It didn’t take long for Belgium to gain their revenge. After doing the double over Iceland, Belgium beat England 2-0 last time out.
Looking at the bigger picture, Belgium have only lost two of their previous 17 outings in all competitions.
With a record like that, it is no surprise that Martinez’s side are the number one ranked team in the world right now.
Meanwhile, after losing to Belgium on Matchday 1, Denmark have recovered to go six games unbeaten in all competitions (five wins, one draw).
In between friendly victories over Faroe Islands and Sweden, Kasper Hjulmand’s men have taken four points from a possible six against England, as well as beating Iceland twice.
Christian Eriksen has been the star of the show for Denmark in recent games, netted a double against Iceland on Sunday.
The Inter Milan midfielder has now scored four goals in his last three Nations League appearances, so Belgium will surely be looking to keep him quiet.
It is worth noting that Denmark have won their previous three Nations League outings both at half time and full time.
Head-to-head: These two nations have faced each other 14 times over the years, with Denmark picking up six wins and Belgium claiming five wins (three draws).
However, the only meeting since 2000 came on the Matchday 1 of the current Nations League campaign. Belgium won 2-0 on that occasion.
Team news: Belgium will be without suspended duo and Borussia Dortmund team-mates Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier.
Leander Dendoncker (Wolves) remains an injury doubt, meaning Denni Praet (Leicester) could step into the Martinez’s starting XI.
As for Denmark, Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester) is likely to be unavailable after picking up an injury last time out.
Demark will be fired up for this game, knowing a victory would see them leapfrog and Belgium and qualify for the next phase of the competition.
However, Belgium have more than enough quality to fend off the Danes and clinch top spot in the group.
Forebet predicts that Denmark will frustrate the home side, yet Belgium will be happy to settle for a goalless draw.
