Here is how Belgium line up. Thomas Vermaelen looks set to play despite his earlier injury scare.

Belgium's players enjoyed great success during 2013-14. Here are the trophies and awards their players won.

We've been asking if you have a second team you will now be supporting for the World Cup, and why you are backing them?

Shane Long: My second team is Netherlands. Always enjoyed watching them and my all-time favourite player, Edwin Van der Sar is their national hero.

Bibhash:, external Germany are my second team. Despite the draw with Ghana, Germany are a crack unit, look very united and playing for each other. Will make the final.

"The coach Marc Wilmots played a huge part against Algeria, realised that the system and the players that he picked to start weren't working.

"He made the changes he had to make and when you do that you're looking for a substitute to change the game in a positive way. All all three did that and that helped them go on to win the game."

"Belgium's Thomas Vermaelen has hurt his knee in the warm-up at the Maracana ahead of match v Russia. He looks to be struggling a bit."

Vermaelen had come into the starting line-up to replace Jan Vertonghen. We will let you know straight away if they have to change their side.

Russia have appeared at two World Cups since the break up of the old Soviet Union, but have failed to make it into the knockout phase on both occasions.

In 1994 they lost their opening two games, but did enjoy a 6-1 victory against Cameroon in their last match, with striker Oleg Salenko scoring five times.

In 2002, their last appearance at a World Cup, they went out early after coming third in the group following a 3-2 defeat against a Belgium side that included current manager Marc Wilmots.

The Soviet Union's best performance came in England in 1966 when they finished fourth, losing 2-1 to West Germany in the semi-finals.

Many England fans may remember their game against Belgium in the 1990 World Cup when David Platt (pictured at the bottom of a celebration pile) scored a last-minute extra-time winner in their last-16 match.

Belgium have also reached the second group phase in 1982 and the last 16 in 1994 and 2002.

But their best performance came in 1986 when they finished fourth. In the last 16 they beat Soviet Union 4-3 after extra-time and then beat Spain on penalties before losing 2-0 to a Diego Maradona-inspired Argentina in the semi-finals.

The Russian side may not be as familiar to you as the Belgium one so here are a few players to look out for today.

Dmitry Kombarov: The Spartak Moscow captain and wing-back, 27, has become something of a favourite under Russia manager Fabio Capello and started all of Russia's World Cup qualifying matches. His identical twin brother Kirill, a right-sided midfielder, also plays for Spartak.

Alexander Kokorin: The 23-year-old didn't have the brightest of games against South Korea but then again who did? At least Kokorin has time on his side - the Dynamo Moscow forward is seen as one of Russia's brightest prospects ahead of the country's hosting of the 2018 World Cup.

Oleg Shatov: Shatov was discovered playing professional indoor football before crossing over to the 11-a-side game with FC Ural in 2007. Now with Zenit St Petersburg, the 23-year-old midfielder is nicknamed Yeltsin, because of a resemblance to the former Russia President Boris Yeltsin.

Group H is the last group to play their second matches, with Belgium currently top of the pile after they fought back from a goal behind to beat Algeria 2-1 on Tuesday.

Sofiane Feghouli put the African side ahead before goals from substitutes Marouane Fellaini and Dries Mertens sealed the win for the Europeans.

In the other game, Russia drew 1-1 against South Korea. Lee Keun-Ho scored after a goalkeeping error from Igor Akinfeev before Aleksandr Kerzhakov's equaliser.

Day 11 of the World Cup. It is sunny in Rio, but we may have some showers later this afternoon.

BBC Weather's Sarah Keith-Lucas looks at the conditions for today's matches.

Capacity: 76,804.

Opened: 1950 (reopened after renovation in June 2013).

Climate: June and July are Rio's coolest months, but the daily temperature peak is typically 25C. Those months tend to be dry, but humidity remains fairly high all year.

Time Zone: GMT -3 hours.

Where is it?: On the Atlantic coast, close to the Tropic of Capricorn.

Background: Renovation of this iconic venue was completed just in time for the Confederations Cup last summer. Work only began in earnest in September 2010 - three years after Brazil was officially handed the World Cup. The stadium formally reopened on 2 June when Brazil drew 2-2 in a friendly with England, and hosted three Confederations Cup matches.

Since then the venue has resumed its role as the venue for derby matches between Rio's biggest teams - Flamengo, Fluminense, Botafago and Vasco da Gama.

The pitch was re-laid in October 2013. It is one of four football venues for the 2016 Olympics and will also host the opening and closing ceremonies.

"There's one big Belgian party outside the Maracana."

Howard Nurse
BBC Sport's football editor in Rio

"Tickets for today's Group H match between Belgium and Russia are in hot demand. One Belgian journalist told me earlier that tickets trading on the black market rocketed in price last night to $1,200 (£705) per ticket.

"People really are paying these prices, believe it or not. I met a fan from the United States who paid $1,000 (just under £600) to buy a ticket at the last minute for the Spain-Chile game on Wednesday. It's all about experiencing a World Cup game at the Maracana."

Martin Keown
BBC Sport

"There is real quality all across this Belgium team, they are a great set of individuals but can they play as a team? I've not see that not so far. I fancy them to beat Russia today, but you can't underestimate the Russians because of Fabio Capello's pedigree as a manager.

"Marouane Fellaini is a totally different player when playing for Belgium, they believe in him, and I'm looking forward to seeing him take the game by storm today. Eden Hazard moves the ball around so quickly, and Romelu Lukaku - he hardly did anything in the game against South Korea but I fully expect him to wake up today."

Chris Bevan
BBC Sport in Rio

"There are not that many Belgians to be found on the Copacabana ahead of their game with Russia at the Maracana today but the Red Devils supporters that are out and about in Rio are pretty easy to spot.

"Every single one I saw seemed to be wearing a wig of some sort - assuming the Marouane Fellaini fans I met are not sporting an entirely natural look."

With England going out, we want to know if you have a second team you will now be supporting for the World Cup and why you are backing them?

As Belgium have so many players at Premier League clubs, will they get your support as a result?

So Russia have backed goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, despite his error that allowed South Korea to take the lead on Tuesday, when a shot from Lee Keun-Ho slipped through his fingers.

When asked yesterday about Akinfeev, Russia captain Vasili Berezutskiy replied: "He is a very experienced goalkeeper. I didn't say anything in particular to him. Everyone can make mistakes."

Coach Fabio Capello went even further by saying: "He is a great goalkeeper, one of the best in the world."

One of the best in the world? Make up your own mind. We will see shortly how he gets on today.
