Sports Mole previews the Euro 2016 qualifier between Belgium and Wales in their Group B encounter at the Koning Boudewijn Stadion.

Wales are looking to continue their solid start to their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign when they travel to face Belgium on Sunday.

Chris Coleman's men have taken seven points from their first three qualifiers, having defeated Cyprus 2-1 in their last outing.

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale will be available for selection for Coleman for their Group B encounter after recovering from an injury that had kept him sidelined at the start of the month.

Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey and Liverpool's Joe Allen are also ready to feature again for Wales after missing their last two qualifying matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Cyprus.

Charlton Athletic striker Simon Church is expected to continue to lead the line for Coleman's side at the Koning Boudewijn Stadion, while Andy King is out of the clash due to suspension.

Belgium will be without skipper Vincent Kompany for the Group B clash as he has been ruled out with a calf injury.

Southampton defender Toby Alderweireld is expected to replace Kompany at the back, having played in the role against Iceland in his side's friendly clash in midweek.

Marc Wilmots could face a selection dilemma with his striker as Romelu Lukaku and Christian Benteke are both pushing for the start. If both players feature in the starting lineup, it would force Wilmots to change his formation from midweek.

The two sides last met in 2013 when they played out a 1-1 draw in their World Cup qualifying clash as Ramsey's late strike cancelled out Kevin De Bruyne's opener.
