New Zealand vs Belgium

Callum McCowatt looks to strike on the counter down the right and, once he reaches the box, goes straight for a shot. If New Zealand can break forward, at least one effort from him is a plausible idea.

Marko Stamenic will have to run for two against Belgium's quality, and in that containing work he often loses the timing of his challenge. A foul from him during the game is almost inevitable.

With so many recovery runs and challenges on the edge of the rules, Stamenic risks ending up in the referee's sights. A foul to stop a Belgian move could easily turn into a booking.

Sarpreet Singh is New Zealand's quality man and likes to arrive at a shooting position from the final third. Even against a strong side, when he finds the right moment he's happy to have a go.

Chris Wood remains the attacking reference point and, wherever he starts from, he ends up going for goal. In a game of hard graft, an effort from him toward the target is still likely.

Jeremy Doku is a riddle for any defence, with lightning changes of direction and pace that scorches opponents. To avoid being beaten time and again, the New Zealanders will have to stop him by foul.

Doku doesn't only think about attacking: when he loses the ball he tries to win it back at once, sometimes with awkward challenges. In those counter-presses he can rack up more than one foul over the game.

Youri Tielemans runs the game but doesn't shy away from the dirty work, picking his moments to stretch out a leg. Against New Zealand's counters, at least one clean challenge from him is very likely.

Alexis Saelemaekers pushes forward often from the right and attacks space with decisive runs. When he takes on his man in New Zealand's half, winning a foul is a frequent outcome.

Kevin De Bruyne carries a right foot that frightens even from distance and, against a packed defence, he's happy to look for a gap to shoot. His attempts are likely to go beyond a single try.

Koni De Winter defends with discipline and steps out on the carrier when New Zealand try to counter. In those firm step-outs, at least one tackle from him is a natural outcome.

When he has to cover the space behind against New Zealand's forwards, De Winter risks arriving late. In those hurried recoveries, he can end up stopping his opponent with a foul.
