Belgium are a very strong side. Before our group started, everyone knew Belgium were the favorites. In this competition, everything is possible. We have to think about how to play against this team. We have to be focused, because we have to win.

Tedesco, on the other hand, stressed that his team only plays to win and won't worry about permutations. He said the following:

I can't tell you the recipe for drawing a game: we only play to win. We won't worry about permutations. If it comes to the last ten minutes or so, we know what to do to hang on to a result, but from the start, there is no confusion: we are setting out to win it.

The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams having shown their ability to win and lose in the tournament.
