The tactical read
Belgium typically set up in 4-2-3-1 and make their first change around minute 50 - roughly 5 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 6 matches, the same shape held up in 5 of them. The quickest hook came at 21' away at USA; the longest wait stretched to 60' away at Spain.
They've won more than they've lost across these 6 matches (3-2-1) - a manager riding momentum tends to stick with what's working, so don't expect wholesale changes to the plan.
