Preview: Belgium vs. Andorra

Belgium vs. Andorra

Belgium get their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign underway on Friday when they play host to Andorra.

Marc Wilmots's side are the favourites to top Group B, which also includes Wales, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Israel.

The Belgians reached the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup before they were knocked out by eventual runners-up Argentina.

Meanwhile, Andorra head to Brussels having suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Wales in their opening qualifier.

The European minnows have failed to win any of their last 68 matches - a run which includes seven defeats in their last seven games.

Thibaut Courtois is expected to play for the hosts after recently going to hospital with a head injury, while Chelsea teammate Eden Hazard could miss out with a toe problem.

Elsewhere, Toby Alderweireld is likely to shake off a knock, but Kevin Mirallas misses out with the hamstring problem that he recently suffered with Everton.
