What channel is Belgium v Portugal Euro 2020 match on? Kick off time, live stream and latest team news

It's a show-stopping encounter worthy of the final but one of these pre-tournament favourites must be sent packing on Sunday evening.

Belgium have warmed up nicely in the tournament with three wins from three thanks to Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne striking up a lethal partnership to fire their side through Group B.

Roberto Martinez will be delighted to see his main men combine but will know that if there's one superstar who can win any knockout game single-handedly, it's Portuguese talisman Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 36-year-old has showed signs of decline over the past year, but he has been scorching hot at Euro 2020 and leads the race for the Golden Boot with five strikes in three games – though three did come from the penalty spot.

Belgium v Portugal team news

Belgium: Timothy Castagne is out after fracturing his eye socket in the group stage, while De Bruyne and Hazard are just about back to full fitness.

Martinez has no other injury concerns and will likely start with Lukaku up top once again, with Hazard off the big man. A three-man defence is once again expected.

Portugal: Nelson Semedo came off injured against France last time out and it is unclear if he will feature on Sunday evening.

The usual forward line of Ronaldo, Jota and Silva will almost surely start, with Renato Sanches again expected to run the midfield lines.

Our prediction: Belgium v Portugal

Portugal certainly showed their mettle against France last time out to sneak through as Group F’s third-place team – but they should be no match for a Belgium side that is motoring away nicely right now.

With Eden Hazard, De Bruyne and Lukaku providing the forward threat, this Portuguese defence that is protected by Danilo may well struggle.

Indeed, while both teams will almost certainly get on the scoresheet in Seville, Belgium should eventually come out on top – even if it requires a late winner from a substitute.

Our prediction: Belgium 2-1 Portugal (9/1 at bet365)
