The Red Devils confronted Russia twice in qualifying for the Euros since Belgium prevailed in its various 3-1 and 4-1 victories in 2019. Eden Hazard scored two goals at each one of the ties, however, the Real Madrid winger is expected to be on the seat for the opener because he continues to battle back against an injury-plagued year .
Hazard failed play 10 moments in Belgium's final friendly against Croatia a week, a 1-0 win thanks to a target from Romelu Lukaku. Belgium enters the Euros since the top-ranked team at the FIFA world rankings after suffering just 1 loss in its last 23 games, and is directed by back-to-back PFA Player of the Year winner Kevin De Bruyne, who's coming off operation to fix a fractured eye socket and is a doubt for its opener.
