What channel is Republic of Ireland v Belgium on? Kick off time and live stream details
Check out how to watch Republic of Ireland v Belgium in an international friendly this week, including TV details, team news, predictions and odds.
The Republic of Ireland have to view Saturday's game against Belgium in Dublin as a fantastic opportunity to upset the world's number one ranked side, as Belgium arrive without a number of their big names.
Manager Roberto Martinez has opted to rest all players with more than 50 caps, meaning the visitors will be without the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, and Thibaut Courtois.
There is still plenty of quality in the Belgian ranks and Stephen Kenny's options are somewhat limited due to injuries and illness but even so, the hosts should be eyeing a result on what could become a famous evening at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
They may have missed out on World Cup qualification but the Republic of Ireland finished 2021 in fantastic style and are unbeaten in their last six heading into the Belgium clash.

Our prediction: Republic of Ireland v Belgium
It seems fitting that the Republic of Ireland host the world's number one ranked side for the FAI Centenary game and there should be a fantastic atmosphere inside the Aviva Stadium.
While Belgium are missing a number of their big names, Martinez still has some real talent available to him and the players handed opportunities in their stead will be desperate to impress.
Kenny has been forced into changes himself due to injury and illness but this could well be a tighter one that many will be predicting.
Our prediction: Republic of Ireland 1-2 Belgium (8/1 at Bet365)
