Big Match Stats Pack: Belgium vs Portugal

<p>This will be the first-ever meeting in a major tournament (World Cup and Euros) between Belgium and Portugal.</p>
<p>Portugal are unbeaten in their last five matches against Belgium across all competitions (W3 D2) since a 3-0 defeat in World Cup qualifying in September 1989.</p>


First major meeting in over 32 years

Belgium have only failed to score in two of their last 58 games under Roberto Martínez, averaging exactly&nbsp;three goals per game in this stretch of fixtures (174 in total). The two games they have been shut out came&nbsp;in the 2018 World Cup semi-final against France (0-1), and in their most recent meeting with Portugal – a 0-0 draw in June 2018.

Lethal Belgium under Martinez

Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo is now the top-scoring European player at major tournaments (World Cup &amp;amp;&nbsp;Euros), with his brace against France moving him beyond Miroslav Klose (19) to 21 goals. Indeed, that was&nbsp;Ronaldo’s second brace of Euro 2020 already – no player has ever registered three in a single tournament&nbsp;at the European Championships.

Flying Ronaldo

Despite playing just 134 minutes of action so far, Kevin De Bruyne has had a direct hand in three of Belgium’s seven goals at Euro 2020, netting once and delivering two assists. Dating back to the 2018&nbsp;World Cup, De Bruyne has assisted in his last three major tournament appearances, with teammate Eden Hazard – between 2016 and 2018 - the last European player to do so in four straight matches at major tournaments (5).

Creative De Bruyne

Since the end of the 2018 World Cup, Romelu Lukaku has scored 23 goals in 21 appearances in all&nbsp;competitions for Belgium, while also providing four assists in this run. Lukaku has already netted three&nbsp;goals at Euro 2020 so far, just one shy of his best return at a major tournament (four at the 2018 World&nbsp;Cup).

Sharp Lukaku

Portugal have qualified for the knockout stage of the Euros in third place for the second tournament in a&nbsp;row, also doing so in 2016 before going on to lift the trophy. Indeed, their return of four points from their&nbsp;three group games is the poorest return for a Euros' defending champion since Greece in 2008 (0).
