Belgium vs Senegal Stats, Match Statistics, xG & Player Data
(Seattle)
Belgium vs Senegal stats start with a Round of 32 match at Seattle Stadium, where the Belgium national football team face the Senegal national football team on 1 July 2026. Belgium bring the stronger xG, shots, goals-against, and defensive profile, while Senegal arrive with more goals per game and a dangerous Ismaila Sarr line. The matchup is close in possession and chance creation, so the decisive edge may come from finishing and goalkeeper performance.
Belgium World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a Group G winner that drew with Egypt and Iran before beating New Zealand 5-1. Senegal World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a Group I third-place qualifier that reached the bracket after a 5-0 win over Iraq. The World Cup 2026 Round of 32 bracket now sends both teams into a Seattle knockout tie.
The match is listed for 16:00 ET at Seattle Stadium, which is 20:00 UTC on 1 July. It also belongs in the World Cup 2026 stats and records tracker because both teams average at least 13 chances created per game in FOX public data. Full match stats should replace these pre-match averages after the official feed closes.
Belgium vs Senegal Stats – Match Statistics Overview
Belgium have the stronger control profile before kickoff. FOX lists Belgium at 2.0 goals, 1.9 xG, 23.3 shots, 65% average possession, and 13.7 chances created per game. Those numbers show a team that can sustain pressure even when the scoring rhythm starts slowly.
Senegal bring the louder scoring line. FOX lists Senegal at 2.7 goals, 1.5 xG, 17.7 shots, 64% average possession, and 13.0 chances created per game. The concern is defensive balance, since Senegal have allowed 2.0 goals per game across the public tournament data.

Attacking Stats Comparison
Belgium’s attack has high volume and several experienced creators. Leandro Trossard leads the FOX player data with two goals, one assist, a 6.6 rating marker, and one player-of-the-match marker. Kevin De Bruyne leads Belgium’s xG marker at 1.2, which shows his influence goes beyond passing.
Senegal have the better goals-per-game number from less shot volume. Ismaila Sarr leads Senegal with three goals, six shots on goal, and 1.9 xG in the FOX leaders view. Iliman Ndiaye adds two assists, giving Senegal a second final-third route if Belgium compress Sarr’s side.

Defensive Stats Comparison
Belgium’s defensive record is the cleaner side of the matchup. FOX lists Belgium at 0.7 goals against per game and one clean sheet, with Thibaut Courtois shown on a 22 keeper-save marker. That gives Belgium a better base if the match slows into long possession spells.
Senegal’s defensive line carries more pressure. FOX lists Senegal at 2.0 goals against per game, though their goalkeeper data includes a 38 save marker and one clean-sheet marker for Mory Diaw. Senegal need that shot-stopping support because Belgium’s 23.3 shots per game can stretch any block.
| Defensive Stat | Belgium | Senegal |

Passing and Possession Analysis
The possession split is almost level. FOX lists Belgium at 65% average possession and Senegal at 64%, so the card uses a neutral 50-50 possession trend rather than overstating separate group-stage samples. Both teams can keep the ball, but Belgium turn that possession into more shots.
Chance creation also sits close. Belgium average 13.7 chances created per game and Senegal average 13.0. The difference comes after creation, where Belgium generate more shots and Senegal finish a higher share of theirs.
| Passing Stat | Belgium | Senegal |
|---|---|---|
| Average Possession | 65% | 64% |
| Card Possession Share | 50% | 50% |
| Chances Created Avg | 13.7 | 13.0 |

Key Player Statistics
Trossard gives Belgium the sharpest goals-and-assists marker in the FOX leaders view. De Bruyne remains central because he leads Belgium’s xG marker, while Courtois anchors the lower goals-against profile. Belgium need those senior players to manage the game state if Senegal’s wide pace appears early.
Sarr gives Senegal the most dangerous individual stat line. He leads Senegal in goals, shots on goal, and xG, which makes him the first player Belgium must control. Ndiaye’s two assists matter because Senegal need another route if Belgium crowd Sarr’s receiving zones.
| Player | Team | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| Leandro Trossard | Belgium | 2 goals, 1 assist, 1 player-of-the-match marker |
| Kevin De Bruyne | Belgium | 1.2 xG in FOX leaders |
| Thibaut Courtois | Belgium | 22 keeper-save marker, 1 clean sheet |
| Ismaila Sarr | Senegal | 3 goals, 6 shots on goal, 1.9 xG |
| Iliman Ndiaye | Senegal | 2 assists in FOX leaders |
| Mory Diaw | Senegal | 1 clean-sheet marker in FOX leaders |
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison favours Belgium. FOX lists Belgium at 1.9 xG per game and Senegal at 1.5 xG per game. Belgium also take more shots, so their attacking pressure looks more repeatable across a full match.
Senegal’s finishing line keeps the game dangerous. They have 2.7 goals per game from 1.5 xG, which points to a strong conversion run. The full-time update should separate open-play xG, set-play xG, shot locations, goalkeeper saves, and blocked shots once the official feed closes.
