I don't think Witsel is fit to play, so it almost certainly will be Vertonghen & Faes in central defence. Mangala also seems unlikely, against Slovakia everyone agreed the main issue was Onana & Mangala being too similar, defensive, static, uncreative, so Belgium had issues playing out of defence and reaching KDB. It went so much better with Tielemans against Romania, and he scored, so why would they go back to Mangala. The last uncertain spot is RW, with Lukebakio suspended, I think it's 50/50 between Trossard and Bakayoko.
It has to be Bakayoko's time. Or even maybe trying out Openda with Lukaku somehow. But Trossard has squandered two times now and was given a second chance which he did not capitalize on vs Romania.
H2H doesn't work here because each team won against one of the other 3 teams. Next tie breaker is GD but there Romania and Belgium is tie too at +1 so it gets to goals scored which Romania has 3 and Belgium 2, that's why Romania is on first. Funny is that draws tomorrow at the same score will leave the group exactly as it is but with 4 points each

So in that case the fourth one int this groupe will have more point than some of the 4th best third !! 😮 so pity !!
