Dugout Discussion – Hungary vs Belgium

Sunday’s third and final fixture sees Hungary and Belgium do battle for the right to take on Wales in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals.

Having bounced back from an opening loss to Italy with wins over Republic of Ireland and Sweden, Belgium are regarded as favourites for the top half of the draw.

The Red Devils were placed fourth for shots on goal over the group stages, though found the net on just four occasions with big-hitters Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard yet to open their accounts in the tournament.

Bernd Storck’s side will be no pushovers, though. Despite firing far less attempts than their opponents across the first three matches (35 to 56), Hungary registered just one attempt on target fewer, firing 16 to Belgium’s 17.

Joint-top scorers with Wales for the group stages, their three-goal salvo against Portugal last time out certainly suggests this evening’s match could be tighter than many expect.

    Mkhitaryan would be fantasy gold if Mourinho doesn't have him in his own half for 90 mins

                  Looked done? There was interest, but no bid accepted.

                  He only rejected RB Leipzig (twice).

                      Aye that's what I mean. There was interest, just saying there wasn't an official bid though. He only turned down contract offers from RB Leipzig, so they splashed the cash on Timo Werner instead.

                      The source that was reporting Embolo to Utd was a local Leipzig paper, saying he had chosen Utd.

                    Praying it happens.

                    The position I see as the most crucial for improvement this window is that RW slot. Mkhitaryan is comfortably better than anyone I imagined to be realistic.
