Hungary are likely to recall Laszlo Kleinheisler, Krisztian Nemeth, Tamas Kadar and Adam Nagy after resting the booked quartet last time out.

However, they now have four additional players on a yellow card - including Balazs Dzsudzsak and Zoltan Gera.

Belgium may name the same side that beat Sweden in their final group match.

Radja Nainggolan is expected to keep his place in the side, while Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Meunier and Axel Witsel all start on one yellow card.

A pre-tournament study revealed that Belgium's squad was the most expensive amongst all the countries on view at Euro 2016 - worth a total of £318.9m, an average of £13.8m per player. Based on that valuation, one single Belgian player is worth more than the entire Hungary squad, who were rated at £12m. Incidentally, that figure ranked the Hungarians 22nd of the 24 nations that reached the finals.

They were dismissed by some as simply making up the numbers before a ball was kicked, yet Bernd Storck's 400-1 shots have provided the tournament with goals, entertaining football and desire, all of which has won them many friends this summer.

Belgium have bounced back superbly since their opening game defeat to Italy with two successive wins. Two-goal forward Romelu Lukaku has found his major tournament shooting boots, Eden Hazard has two assists, Kevin de Bruyne ended the group stage having created more chances than any other player and their injury-hit defence has kept back-to-back clean sheets.

Their golden generation find themselves on the perceived easier side of the draw and are three wins away from the final. Euro 2016 has quickly opened up for the Belgians; will they ever have a better chance of turning potential into prizes?
 

This is the televised game over here today. The Spanish are only showing 1 game a day on public tv. Usually the 21.00 slot (CET) except when Spain play obviously.

The weird thing is that none of the usual sattelite channels (Canal Plus and Bein Sport) are showing the other matches.

As a result I've only watched 1 game a day myself though it doesn't look like I've missed much.
 
Just nipped round to Laddies.
On their coupon Rom is 4/5 to score anytime.
On their machine he is 2/1 !!

Not that I would ever recommend anyone backing the lazy, judas, gobbing off, gash first touch get to score like.. But that's a good price.
