The Red Devils will seek to extend their unbeaten run against Tuesday's visitors to four in history when they face off in Brussels.

Match Preview

Belgium will aim to build on their first win in the UEFA Nations League when they welcome Iceland to the Stade Roi Baudouin in Brussels on Tuesday. The Red Devils staged yet another inspiring performance to secure a 2-0 win over Denmark in their opening Group A2 fixture. Following their third-place finish in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Roberto Martinez's men still remain the side to beat as they have barely put a foot wrong in the past 24 months.

Aside the shock 5-2 thumping against Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League in November 2018, Belgium are unbeaten in their last 17 outings. Just one of the matchups ended in a draw. The Red Devils have also enjoyed a series of scoring sprees, registering 32 goals in the last eight games while conceding just two.

As far as the chances of Iceland are concerned, a special performance will be required if they intend to get a favorable result against the Belgians. Strákarnir Okkar will hope to put behind Saturday's disappointment against England when they travel to Brussels for their second UEFA Nations League A Group 2 match.

Erik Hamrén's men approach the encounter on the back of a defeat to England in their opening game of the campaign after conceding a late Raheem Sterling penalty goal. The fate of the game was sealed shortly after Birkir Bjarnason had failed to convert a spot-kick that had gone in favor of the hosts who played against 10-men for the most part of the tie.

In retrospect, the defeat to England remains the anomaly in Iceland's mildly impressive run in their last six outings. Following successive defeats against Albania and France in September and October 2019, the 2018 FIFA World Cup debutants have won games against Andorra, Moldova, Canada, and El Salvador, while drawing with Turkey in the remaining fixture. In the course of the last 10 matches, they have won six, drawn one, and have lost the remaining three.
