Belgium vs Romania

Facing an early exit from Euro 2024, Belgium will lock horns with a confident Romania on Saturday in a crucial Group E clash. The match will be played on June 23rd, 2024, and kick off at 12:45 AM Nepal Time.

Belgium Seeks to Avoid Upset

Belgium’s Euro 2024 campaign started on a sour note with a shocking 1-0 defeat to Slovakia. This marked their first loss under manager Domenico Tedesco and the biggest upset of the opening matches. They will need a strong response against a high-flying Romania.

Romania Riding High After Upset Win

Romania, on the other hand, stunned everyone with a dominant 3-0 victory over Ukraine. They capitalized on two mistakes by Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to secure an impressive win. This sets them up for a potential group-stage lead and a good chance of progressing to the knockout stages.

Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

  • This is the first-ever meeting between Belgium and Romania at a major tournament. Their last encounter, a friendly in 2012, saw Romania win 2-1.
  • The two sides have a balanced history, with five wins each and two draws in 12 meetings.
  • Belgium has never lost their opening two matches at a European Championship.
  • Romania seeks its second consecutive win in a major tournament, something they’ve achieved only twice before.
  • Belgium’s impressive run of 13 wins out of 14 group-stage games at major tournaments has ended with three consecutive winless matches.

Prediction: A Tight Encounter Expected

This match is difficult to predict. Both teams performed well in the lead-up to the Euros but started the tournament with contrasting results. While Romania benefited from Ukraine’s goalkeeping errors, Belgium created chances against Slovakia. If their attackers can capitalize this time, a narrow win for Belgium seems likely.

Prediction: Belgium 2-1 Romania
