Euro 2000 - Match of the Day Live: Italy v Belgium

on BBC One London

Live coverage of tonight's clash between Italy and co-hosts Belgium in the second round of matches in Group B, from the King Baudouin stadium in Brussels (kickoff at 7.45pm).

As automatic qualifiers, Belgium have had the tricky task of preparing for the tournament without the benefit of competitive matches, but their recent results have included their first-ever victory on Italian soil - a 3-1 win over tonight's opponents - in Lecce last November.
Italian coach Dino Zoff will be looking for a significant improvement in his side's patchy form since being eliminated on penalties in the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals by host nation France. Although they should start as favourites tonight, the Italians will be wary of an upset, having not beaten Belgium in four attempts since 1977.
Introduced by Gary Lineker. A repeat showing of tonight's entire match can be seen at 1am. (S)
