Head-to-head: Belgium v Italy
Belgium’s only competitive victory over Italy came back in 1972 when they won the two-legged qualifier/quarter-final to reach the four-team final tournament. The two sides also met at the Euros in 1980, 2000 and 2016, when Antonio Conte’s grizzled Azzurri outfit won 2-0 in the group stages. Back in 2000, Francesco Totti set up a 2-0 win for Italy over the co-hosts, who failed to get out of their group.

Here are the pre-match thoughts of the two coaches, Luis Enrique and Vladimir Petkovic:
Luis Enrique: “Switzerland are going to be a very tough team to face … they’re a great group of players. They’re a match for us in terms of the way they press, the way they attack, so it’s going to be very difficult for us. I have full confidence in all our players. Physical issues are just as important as mental issues. I think [tiredness] is more a mental issue than a physical one and physically we’re in great shape.”
Vladimir Petkovic: “We need to be hungry again, greedy, to make it to the next round. From this point on I can’t say I’m satisfied and happy that we made it so far because, for me, the next step is always the most important. We know that we have to play against one of the strongest teams, one of the favourites, but we will try to take our chance. What I want to see against Spain is that everyone gives a little more – not just to replace Xhaka but also to beat Spain.”
