Match Preview: Belgium vs Senegal
Belgium arrive in Seattle as Group G winners after a stuttering start — draws with Egypt and Iran were followed by a statement 5-1 win over New Zealand that carried them to the top of the group. Rudi Garcia's side leans on the experience of Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, with Lukaku now boasting more World Cup goal involvements than any Belgian since 1966.
Senegal's road here was tougher. Pape Thiaw's team lost their opening two group games to France and Norway before an emphatic 5-0 demolition of ten-man Iraq secured their spot as one of the best third-placed sides. Pape Gueye's brace off the bench was the standout moment, and with Sadio Mané and Ismaïla Sarr leading the attack, the Lions of Teranga will fancy their chances of an upset. Senegal will also be missing first-choice goalkeeper Edouard Mendy through a knee injury.
Both sides have been involved in high-scoring matches throughout the group stage, suggesting Wednesday's knockout clash in Seattle could again produce goals at both ends.

CS Sports Prediction
Belgium's superior squad depth and De Bruyne's creativity should give them the edge, but Senegal's front three of Mané, Sarr and Mbaye have shown they can hurt sides on the counter. Expect a tight, goal-laden knockout tie that could go to extra time.
