Portugal and Belgium lock horns in their final Group B game at the Women’s Euros on Friday 11 July at 20:00 BST in Sion, Switzerland. The game will be available to watch live on BBCiPlayer.
Tessa Wullaert to score or assist (20/21 with bet365)
Belgium will be hoping they can at least go out with a bang and if they are to do so, it seems likely Inter Milan striker Tessa Wullaert will have played a key role.
She was on target twice in that Nations League success and is at the forefront of much that Belgium create, having set up both goals in their 6-2 defeat to Spain, when they had pegged La Roja back twice before the world champions cantered away to victory.
While the Belgians fell to a 1-0 opening loss to Italy, Wullaert had five efforts on goal so she seems to be getting her eye in and she came into the tournament in strong international form, having scored in their final three qualifiers.
Belgium need to pull something out of the back if they are to avoid falling out at the group stage without a victory for the first time and we can expect Wullaert to be in the thick of the action.
Diana Gomes to score at any time (17/2 with bet365)
Portugal have been handed a chance, albeit a slim one, to gain a place in the last eight due to Diana Gomes’ late equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Italy, and it could be worth chancing that the Sevilla defender can get on the scoresheet again.
The 26-year-old can be a threat at set pieces and that may be the most likely way that Portugal find the net, as while they are odds-on favourites to win the match, they had failed to score in their previous four games before she hit the target.
They have now gone seven games without a victory and it is difficult to back them to win this one as their need for points may have been faceted too much into their price.
A struggle could ensue but there is a chance that Gomes, who has now scored six goals for the national team, could pop up at the right time again and give their supporters something to smile about in what could prove their final game in this summer’s competition.

How both teams go into Portugal vs Belgium
The Women’s Euros have been a disappointment for both Portugal and Belgium with the pair collecting just one point between them from their opening two matches.
The Belgians are certain to be heading home after Friday’s match in Sion, white Portugal have a slim chance of reaching the top two in Group B but need a large goal-difference swing to reach the knockout stage and will hope Italy suffer a heavy defeat to runaway leaders Spain.
They will at least have something to play for but Portugal will be mindful that they suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Belgium in the Nations League last month.
Portugal team news
Portugal will be hoping to have a full squad to choose from going into this final group game. Portugal will be without Ana Borges after her red card against Italy in Portugal’s previous game.
Belgium team news
Belgium will hope to have no injury or suspension issues ahead of what could be a crucial match.
Portugal vs Belgium head-to-head
These two shared away wins when they met in the Uefa Nations League earlier this year. Portugal nicked a 0-1 away win in Leuven, while Belgium were a lot more comfortable with their 0-3 victory in Funchal.
