Belgium will play Portugal in the last 16 of Euro 2020 at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville on Sunday, with a quarter-final match against Italy awaiting the winner.
The European champions survived a desperate final in Group F when Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on penalties to secure a 2-2 draw with France.
The result meant that Portugal were one of the top four teams in the tournament, finishing third.
Meanwhile, Belgium have won each of their three matches at Euro 2020 and beat Finland 2-0 last time out, with striker Romelu Lukaku doing the damage
Here's everything you need to know about the match:
When is it?
The match will start at 20:00 Moscow time at La Cartuja stadium.
How can I see it?
The match is broadcast live on BBC One from 7: 30 pm BST. It can also be streamed online via BBC iPlayer.
What's the team's news?
Roberto Martinez will recall players such as Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Meunier and Yannick Carrasco after several players were rested before the final group game against Finland. Torgan Hazard will be assessed after suffering a minor knee injury against Denmark.
Nuno Mendes is still recovering from a thigh problem, so Rafael Guerreiro will start and Nelson Semedo will be assessed before the game. Renato Sanchez is likely to retain his place after starring against France. Joao Moutinho could also be selected after impressing.
Projected lineups:
Belgium: Courtois, Denayer, Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Meunier, De Bruyne, Witsel, T. Hazard, Carrasco, E. Hazard, Lukaku
Portugal: Patricio, Semedo, Pepe, Dias, Guerreiro, Sanches, Danilo, Moutinho, Bernardo Silva, Jota, Ronaldo
Coefficients:
Belgium: 6/4
Draw: 21/10
Portugal: 2/1
Prediction:
This could be a tricky story that will flare up in life in the later stages. It's a clash between the two tournament favourites and I think Belgium's midfielders will dominate the game. Belgium 3: 1
