STAR PREVIEW: Hungary v Belgium (Euro 2016 Sunday)

[dropcap]A[/dropcap]n impressive victory from hosts France earlier today who were certainly asked a serious question by the Republic Of Ireland.

Belgium get their chance to progress to the last eight if they can beat Hungary in the final match of the day in Toulouse.

Hungary have been the surprise package of the tournament so far – alongside Iceland – and more about them tomorrow!

Hungary have so far beaten Austria 2-0 and drawn with Iceland and Portugal.

Belgium were slow starters but looked to be running into form with their impressive win over the Republic Of Ireland and then Sweden last time.

The Belgium starting XI is likely to be the same as for the Sweden game whereas Hungary are likely to recall Laszlo Kleinheisler, Krisztian Nemeth, Tamas Kadar and Adam Nagy after resting the booked quartet last time out.

There’s a huge weight of expectation on Belgium’s shoulders – they have the most expensive collection of players in the whole tournament at a staggering collective £318 million.
