Belgium’s recent form of WDDWW highlights their consistent performance and resilience across all competitions. Their clinical attack, averaging 2.6 goals/game, combined with a remarkably stingy defense, conceding just 0.4 conceded/game, makes them a formidable opponent. The 5-1 thrashing of New Zealand in their last World Cup outing demonstrates their capacity to dismantle opposition effectively when in full flow, suggesting strong system efficiency.
Senegal – Team Analysis
| Date | Competition | Opponent | Score | Result |

| 2026-06-26 | World Cup | Iraq | 5-0 | 🟢 Win |
| 2026-06-23 | World Cup | Norway | 2-3 | 🔴 Loss |

| 2026-06-09 | Friendlies | Saudi Arabia | 0-0 | 🟡 Draw |
| 2026-05-31 | Friendlies | USA | 2-3 | 🔴 Loss |
Senegal’s recent form, WLLDL, indicates a team capable of moments of brilliance, as seen in their 5-0 win against Iraq, but also prone to defensive lapses. While they average 2.0 goals/game, their defense has been a significant concern, conceding 1.8 conceded/game over their last five matches. This defensive vulnerability, particularly evident in recent losses to Norway and France, highlights potential systemic weaknesses that a top-tier attacking side could exploit.
Head-to-Head Record
No competitive meetings between Belgium and Senegal in the last 5 years. With completely different squads, coaching staff, and team dynamics, historical head-to-head records hold little predictive value for this fixture. Focus on current form and individual team performance instead.
