After suffering painful defeats in the semis, both England and Belgium regroup for one final outing in Russia when they meet in the third-place match of the 2018 World Cup. There has been this raging debate over the years about the importance of a third-place game but the two teams will not be thinking about any of these as pride and character will be on display. The two sides looked great for a majority of the tournament but just did not have enough in the tank when coming up against France and Croatia who showed more desire than them. Meanwhile, you can find all the relevant details of Belgium vs England 3rd Place Play-off below.

Kieran Trippier is most likely to sit out the game against Belgium after limping off in extra time in the semi-final defeat. He has been one of the sparks of this tournament and the future certainly looks bright for this young dynamic right back. Midfielder Jordan Henderson along with the key man at the back, Kyle Walker are carrying slight niggles and that may very well sound the end of their World Cup campaign. England skipper Harry Kane, who is leading the Golden Boot race should start as he looks to fend off competition from Romelu Lukaku who trails him by two goals. 2018 FIFA World Cup Preview: Deflated England, Belgium Get Ready for Third Place Clash.

Belgium will field changes as Roberto Martinez looks to freshen up things in the middle with Eden Hazard most likely to not feature against the Three Lions. Dries Mertens started off the tournament well but then lost the way and is now slated to start in attack for his country. Thomas Meunier is also likely to make a return after serving a one-game suspension while Vincent Kompany could have placed his last world cup for Belgium with him making way for Dedryck Boyata. Mousa Dembele has a nightmare against the French and will be out of the line up too.

The last time these two nations met was in the group stages of the tournament where they both fielded a weakened side and it took a moment of brilliance from Adnan Januzaj to decide the tie. With the cup more or less dead for the two teams, they will look to end it on a high to put up a parting statement. Every team wants to finish third rather than fourth and beating a quality side is a confidence booster. Hence, there is a lot to play for in this clash however negative the football pundits and media portray it.
