England against Belgium: World Cup 2018
The only thing to be decided is who finishes top - England or Belgium
England and Belgium have qualified for the World Cup round of 16 after their convincing victories at the weekend. The game is today at 8 pm CET at Kaliningrad Stadium in Kaliningrad and the only thing to be decided in Group G is who finishes top - England or Belgium. A win for either side will see them top the group.
A draw will see both teams finish with the same goal difference and goals scored, thus it boils down to fair play statistics. England, with one fewer yellow card, top that as it stands. If both teams are level on cards, it comes down to drawing lots. The odds for this game are the following - 2.9 for England, 2.8 for Belgium and 3.1 for a draw.
