Belgians will be in serious trouble if they don't reach Peru. They came to the tournament in great form, having not lost since the group stage against Qatar. Before that loss, they had been undefeated in 14 matches in a row. They scored almost twice as many goals as their opponents in their successful run. Aside from the result, there were positives in the game. Belgians had 61% possession and created numerous opportunities. They had 1.91 expected goals, while Slovaks only had 0.59. Belgians created 4 big chances, while Slovaks had only one. Romanians only had 29% possession against Ukraine. They were good on counterattacks but didn't create much from open play. I don't think they will have the same success on counterattacks against Belgians, so I'm going with Belgians here.
