Belgium's Eden Hazard hoping to continue strong form

Hazard hoping to continue strong form

Belgium attacker Eden Hazard has revealed that his team are confident of overcoming Wales in Friday night's Euro 2016 quarter-final.

During qualification for this summer's tournament, Belgium only took one point off Wales and were beaten by a Gareth Bale strike when the two teams met in June 2015.

Hazard, however, has said that the Red Devils, who overcame Hungary 4-0 in the round of 16, will enter the last-eight clash full of confidence.

"We didn't create too many chances and struggled to score goals in recent times against Wales. They have a good defensive block, some good midfielders and a real star up front, but I hope we can create some chances and score some goals this time," Hazard told reporters.

"I put in a great performance last time out, we all want to reproduce the same performance every time. It's up to me to be ready and come out firing. I've played top fixtures one after another in recent years. I didn't have my best season but I've had four good games here."

Hazard had emerged as a doubt for the clash after picking up a thigh problem, but it is thought that the Chelsea attacker will be fit to take to the field.
