Football prediction Belgium vs Slovakia – Group D Euro 2024: Cannot be different

Belgium captain Kevin de Bruyne said before the match against Slovakia, opening EURO 2024: " I feel the whole team is ready and has a lot of energy to do something good ."

In theory, Belgium are stronger than Slovakia and are expected to take all 3 points. Whether De Bruyne and his teammates can show that remains to be seen.

Slovakia coach Francesco Calzona said: “ Hopefully the team will play better than themselves and achieve the best result. The important thing is not to lose.

Belgium are very good at transitions and counter-attacks but Slovakia have their own way of playing .”

BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton said: “ I really don’t understand why coach Domenico Tedesco left goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois out of the Belgium squad for EURO 2024. I think it was a big mistake.

Lukaku is a key player in Belgium’s attack and Jeremy Doku is a big threat on the left. But my main concern for Belgium is in defence, where they still rely on Jan Vertonghen .”

However, with their superior strength to Slovakia, this expert still puts his faith in the Red Devils. He predicts Belgium 2-1 Slovakia .

Sportmole also believes that Belgium will beat Slovakia by the same score as above, with the comment: " Slovakia will give Belgium a difficult match and it would not be surprising if the match ends in a draw. However, we believe that with superior attacking power, Belgium will win narrowly 2-1 against Slovakia ."

Also believing in the Belgian Red Devils' opening victory at EURO 2024, Sportskeeda experts predict the score to be even higher because they completely trust in the strength of Kevin de Bruyne and Lukaku,... so they think the match will end with the result Belgium 3-1 Slovakia .

Expected lineup:

Belgium : Casteels; Faes, Witsel, De Cuyper; Castagne, Mangala, Onana, Doku; Trossard, De Bruyne; Lukaku

Slovakia : Dubravka; Pekarik, Vavro, Skriniar, Hancko; Kucka, Lobotka, Duda; Schranz, Bozenik, Haraslin
