Sunday’s World Cup action kicks off in Brasilla as two-time winners Argentina face the side they beat in the 1986 semi-finals in Mexico City, Belgium.

The South Americans needed extra time to get past Switzerland in their last sixteen tie in Sao Paolo on Tuesday, while in the group stages they took maximum points following wins against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran and Nigeria.

Alejandro Sabella may stick with the same side that started against the Swiss last time out, with Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero their only injury concern ahead of the game.

Lionel Messi, who has four in four at the tournament so far, is unsurprisingly favourite to get the first goal of the game with most firms offering a price of 4.5 (7/2) while Gonzalo Higuain is widely available at 7.0 (6/1).

Bet 365 have Argentina at 2.2 (6/5) to win the game in ninety minutes, with Belgium as highly priced as the 3.8 (14/5) on offer from Coral. The draw is priced at 3.3 (23/10) with a number of bookmakers.

Like their opponents, Marc Wilmot’s side played out a goalless ninety minutes in their round of sixteen time, eventually beating USA 2-1 after extra time in Salvador on Tuesday.

Moussa Dembele is doubtful while Thomas Vermaelen should be fit in time to feature having missed the last two games.

Teenage sensation Divock Origi is 9.0 (8/1) to open the scoring, while Chelsea’s Eden Hazard can be backed at 12.0 (11/1) with Ladbrokes.

This is the first meeting of the side since Argentina ran out 2-0 winners on route to lifting the famous trophy in the Mexican capital twenty-eight years ago, while the only other time they have come up against each other was in the group stages in Spain four years earlier, with Belgium winning 1-0.

Both of those matches were goalless at half time, as were six of the eight matches played in the round of sixteen this summer, so you may be tempted to back that outcome at 2.62 (13/8) with Paddy Power, while the same scoreline after ninety minutes is 9.0 (8/1) with Bet Victor.
