Belgium vs Slovakia 9/1 Bet Builder Tip and Predictions

Belgium vs Slovakia predictions and bet builder tips for today’s Euro 2024 fixture at 5pm.

None of the favourites have slipped up yet and now it’s the turn of Belgium to put their credentials to the test as they look to win their first ever major tournament. Once again Kevin De Bruyne will be key to their chances but it does feel like their Golden Generation has passed. Slovakia were good in qualifying and it would be no surprise to see them trouble Belgium today.

 

Belgium vs Slovakia Predictions

Euro 2020 Quarter-finalists Belgium have been ranked first in the FIFA World Rankings as recently as February 2022, and they are the only national team to top the rankings despite having never won a major trophy. Due to the calibre of players in their squad, there are usually calls for Belgium to progress far before recent tournaments have begun, however, with their main threats getting older, the side has regressed, failing to make it past the Group Stage in the 2022 World Cup.

Slovakia come into this tournament after an impressive Qualification campaign, winning 7 of their 10 games, finishing second in their group behind a Portugal side that had unsurprisingly beat them on both occasions. There are elements of quality in the Slovakian side, which on paper, does lack top players. In-form Sparta Prague winger Lukas Haraslin and Boavista forward Robert Bozenik will likely cause a Belgian back 4 with an average age of over 30 some problems. Nevertheless, this Belgian squad has significantly experienced players, and with brilliant individuals such as Kevin De Bruyne, Jeremy Doku, and Romelu Lukaku, it would be a surprise to see Belgium fail to take the three points here.

Slovakia’s 17 goals in Qualification has shown that they are not shy of a goalscorer, and despite losing in both games to Portugal, they lost 4-2 on aggregate across these fixtures. Now when facing a side of a similar level to Portugal, I would expect Slovakia to be able to find the back of the net, with Belgium winning this match with both sides scoring, replicating their 2-1 win from the last time these sides met.

SCORE PREDICTION: Belgium 2-1 Slovakia – 8/1 with bet365’s Euro 2024 welcome offer.
