Stats for this game

Matchup Belgium VS Russia

Belgium build a four-win sequence

Belgium won four of the five completed fixtures, beginning with a 1-0 World Cup group-stage result in June 2014. They added home and away victories in Euro 2020 qualifying, winning 3-1 in Belgium and 4-1 in Russia. The sequence continued with a 3-0 Belgian win in the opening group match of the Euro 2020 finals.

The friendly supplies the only draw

Russia’s strongest result in the available record was the 3-3 friendly draw in March 2017. It is also the only match in which Russia scored more than once. Belgium scored 14 goals across the five fixtures and Russia scored five, with the Belgian total spread across both venue orientations and three competition settings. Four wins and one draw establish a clear Belgian advantage, while the six-goal friendly shows that the matchup has not always followed the tighter margins seen in 2014.
