How to watch Belgium vs. Senegal: FOX (English) | Telemundo and FOX One (Spanish)
Kickoff Time: 4:00 p.m. ET
Venue: Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington
Belgium and Senegal are set to face off in what could be a defensive battle in the World Cup’s Round of 32.
Belgium finished atop a chaotic Group G after edging out Egypt, who also finished with 5 points in the group stage. However, the Red Devils posted a +4 goal differential, which proved to be the difference in securing the top spot in the group.
Despite tallying just one win, Belgium outscored its opponents 6-2 across its first three World Cup matches.
Meanwhile, Senegal found itself in an extremely tough Group I with France and Norway but still managed to advance with 3 points. The Lions of Teranga finished the group stage with a 5-0 win against Iraq, and that impressive offensive performance was enough to qualify for the Round of 32.
This will mark the first time that Belgium and Senegal have faced off in an international match.
Belgium has had considerable World Cup success in recent years, finishing in third in 2018 and reaching the quarterfinals in 2014. Senegal reached the Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup before eventually losing to England.
