Belgium vs Italy team news
Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard have both been ruled out after picking up injuries against Portugal.
De Bruyne rolled an ankle and Hazard's hamstring troubles returned in the closing stages. Dries Mertens and Yannick Carrasco should come in.
Italy are sweating over the fitness of captain Giorgio Chiellini, who has been nursing a calf injury. Otherwise, Roberto Mancini has a clean bill of health.
Belgium vs Italy prediction
A tough one, this.
Belgium have two key players missing but still boast a fearsome attack. Italy coasted through the group stage before being pushed all the way by Austria - would that have helped them or hindered them?
I’m backing a narrow 1-0 win for the Azzurri after extra time.
