Belgium vs Senegal Head-to-Head: Record, Stats & Form (Updated June 2026)

Belgium and Senegal meet for what is a landmark fixture in World Cup 2026 on 1 July 2026, with the Red Devils ranked 10th in the world and the Lions of Teranga entering as the 18th-ranked side on the planet. With no recorded head-to-head history between these two nations, current form and tournament momentum become the defining lens through which to assess this matchup.

Head-to-Head Record

Belgium and Senegal have no recorded head-to-head meetings in international football. This fixture on 1 July 2026 will be the first time these two sides have faced each other at any level in the available historical data. With no prior results to draw upon, the context of this matchup is shaped entirely by each team’s recent form and their respective journeys through the World Cup 2026 tournament.

Belgium: Recent Form

Belgium arrive in excellent defensive shape, going unbeaten across their last six matches with a record of three wins and three draws (W D D W W D, most recent first). They have scored 14 goals and conceded just 3 in that run — an average of 2.33 goals scored and only 0.50 conceded per match. Their 3 clean sheets in six outings underline a well-organised backline, and they have failed to score just once. Their points-per-game rate of 2.00 across this period reflects consistent, if not always dominant, performances. Most notably, Belgium demolished New Zealand 5-1 away from home on 27 June, and earlier beat Tunisia 5-0 at home on 6 June — both emphatic statements of attacking intent.

• 27 Jun 2026 — New Zealand 1–5 Belgium (Away, W)
• 21 Jun 2026 — Belgium 0–0 IR Iran (Home, D)
• 15 Jun 2026 — Belgium 1–1 Egypt (Home, D)
• 6 Jun 2026 — Belgium 5–0 Tunisia (Home, W)

Senegal: Recent Form

Senegal’s recent form presents a more mixed picture. Across their last six matches, they have recorded two wins, one draw and three defeats (W L L D L W, most recent first), accumulating a points-per-game rate of just 1.17. They have scored 13 goals but conceded 10, giving averages of 2.17 scored and 1.67 conceded per fixture. Their two clean sheets are offset by a vulnerability at the back that has been exposed by stronger opponents — losses to France (1-3) and the USA (2-3) and Norway (2-3) all came away from home. However, Senegal showed their attacking ceiling with a commanding 5-0 win over Iraq on 26 June, and they failed to score in just one of their six matches.

• 26 Jun 2026 — Senegal 5–0 Iraq (Home, W)
• 23 Jun 2026 — Norway 3–2 Senegal (Away, L)
• 16 Jun 2026 — France 3–1 Senegal (Away, L)
• 9 Jun 2026 — Saudi Arabia 0–0 Senegal (Away, D)

How Belgium and Senegal Compare

Belgium’s unbeaten six-match run, combined with a goals-against average of just 0.50 per match, marks them out as the more defensively secure side heading into this fixture. Senegal have demonstrated genuine attacking quality — their 5-0 win over Iraq and 13 goals across six matches confirm that — but their defensive record of 10 goals conceded at 1.67 per match stands in stark contrast to Belgium’s solidity at the back. Belgium’s points-per-game rate of 2.00 also outpaces Senegal’s 1.17, reflecting a greater consistency in results over the same recent period.
