Belgium and Finland will play their last Uefa Euros Group B Match on Monday, June 21 at 10 pm. The match will be played at the Krestovsky Stadium, Russia.
Belgium was boosted by the return of Real Madrid winger Eden Hazard, and midfielders Kevin De Bryune (Manchester City) and Axel Witsel (Borussia Dortmund). The trio was introduced as substitutes in the Denmark game which saw Belgium come back from 1-0 down to win 2-1.
De Bryune scored a 70 minute goal with the win seeing Belgium qualify to the knockout stages from Group B with a game to spare. Finland knows that a point would probably be enough to see them progress through to the knockout stage, against the odds, but securing that point against the number 1 Fifa ranked opponents would be a hard toll.
