The match between Denmark and Belgium kicks off.

The national anthems of Belgium and then Denmark are sung.

At this moment the FIFA anthem is playing and Denmark and Belgium take the field. The fans sing in support of Eriksen in an emotional moment.

Belgium spent a few minutes on the pitch warming up and Lukaku, like his teammates, has declared himself ready for the second match.

Christian Eriksen will reportedly need to have a defibrillator implanted under his skin to regulate his heart rhythm, the Danish Football Federation announced today. 

Denmark has conceded only two goals in the last six games, although against Finland they were unable to convert and lost 1-0 on their debut.

Belgium has scored 17 goals in the last six games, including three in the opening match against Russia.

These will be Roberto Martinez's eligible men, remembering that up to five changes can still be made.

Belgium will be the away team for this match and will be playing in its second uniform.

Despite the loss to Finland, what Kjaer did in giving first aid to Eriksen, forming a fence to keep what was happening from being seen on TV, and comforting Eriksen's wife on the pitch. Simply great.

 

Belgium leads Group B with three points, followed by Russia with the same number of points after yesterday's win over Finland (3 points); in last place is Denmark with zero points.

Courtois; Vertoghen, Denayer, Alderweireid; Hazard, Tielemans, Dendoncker, Meunier; Carrasco, Mertens, Lukaku.

Schmeichel; Wass, Christenssen, Kjaer, vestergaard, Maehle; Damsgaard, Hojbjerg, Delaney; Poulsen, Braithwaite.

Denmark will be the administrative home team this afternoon and will wear its uniform in red.

Belgium is not only the favorite to win the group, but also to reach at least the semifinals, a situation they will seek to confirm on the field this Thursday.

After the drama of the last game, Denmark's players will have to turn the page and take Eriksen's case as a motivation to get their first points in this Euro.

Under different scenarios but with the same objective is how Denmark and Belgium arrive for their second match of the group stage of Euro 2020. Let's start.

Last year they met twice in the UEFA Nations League with Belgium winning both matches with scores of 4-2 and 2-0.

Romelu Lukaku started on fire with a brace against Russia and will be looking to keep up the momentum to help the Devils into the next round.

The Danes need to find the net again and what better than Braitwaite, Barcelona's striker, to be able to lead his team's attack.

​

Courtois; Alderweireid, Boyata, Vertongher; Castagne, Dendoncker, Tielemans, Hazard; Mertens, Lukaku, Ferreira.

Schmeichel; Wass, Kjaer, Christenssen, Maehle; Eriksen, Hojbjerg, Delaney; Poulsen, Wind, Braithwaite.

After winning the first game against Russia, Belgium should not be overconfident knowing that they are a superior team to the Danes.

After the scare experienced with Eriksen and after losing their first game, Denmark will have to find the inspiration and concentration to win their first game against one of the candidates to win.

The Denmark vs Belgium match will be played at the Parken Stadium, in Denmark. The kick-off is scheduled at 12pm ET.
