WHAT TO EXPECT
Belgium is playing in a major tournament for the first time since 2002, but the team is experiencing something of a golden generation. Its attack is filled with options, including this year's breakthrough Premier League star, Romelu Lukaku; Chelsea's Eden Hazard; and Wolfsburg's Kevin De Bruyne. An unsung hero is Axel Witsel, who directs play from a defensive midfield position.
Algeria could be in trouble. Its top scorer, Islam Slimani of Sporting Lisbon, is one of many on the team plying their trades for second- or third-tier European teams.
WHAT'S AT STAKE
Belgium is a favorite to advance from this group, but will want to seal that by getting 3 points in what should be its easiest match. Algeria would be delighted with a point in its opener.
