One potential mis-match for Wales is at left back. Ben Davies is about as dependable as they come but should the lightning quick Jérémy Doku drift out to Belgium’s right wing, he might be able to breeze straight past the veteran defender, who is more accustomed to playing centre back these days. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Doku and Leandro Trossard swap wings for Belgium as the game goes on.
Daniel James is a big miss for Wales, out through illness. His pace would have caused Belgium a lot of problems on the counter-attack and fitted in nicely with Bellamy’s gameplan.
