Belgium vs Romania Betting Preview
Belgium suffered a surprising 1-0 defeat in their first encounter against Slovakia, despite Romelu Lukaku had two disallowed goals after VAR checks. The striker was once again guilty of misfiring in front of goal. The Red Devils cannot afford any more slip-ups from here. Statistically, it was the biggest upset in Europea Championship's history, with Domenico Tedesco's men ranked third in FIFA's global rankings and Slovakia ranked 48th.Romania registered an outstanding 3-0 victory over Ukraine in their maiden match at Euro 2024, courtesy of goals scored by Nicolae Stanciu, Razvan Marin and Denis Dragus. They impressively managed 3 goals from just 29% of possession (nine shots in total, 5 on target). Romania know that a three-goal victory already has them among the favourites to qualify for the knockout stage with a point basically guaranteeing their progression. The Tricolours are enjoying a good run of form. Only one of their 16 matches has ended in a loss - a 3-2 friendly defeat to Colombia in March - and they have now kept three clean sheets in a row.
As to direct encounters, Romania are actually something of a bogey team for Belgium, with only one loss against the Red Devils in their last five matches. In friendly matches in the 21st century, these two teams have crossed paths twice, with each team winning once.

Probable Line-Ups
Belgium (4-2-3-1): Casteels; Castagne, Debast, Faes, Theate; Tielemans, Onana; Doku, De Bruyne, Trossard; Lukaku
Thomas Meunier remains unavailable and Axel Witsel's participation is uncertain. Arthur Theate is nursing an injury but may undergo a fitness test before Saturday's showdown. Jan Vertonghen could potentially return to replace Yannick Carrasco at left-back. In midfield positions, Orel Mangala will compete against Youri Tielemans for a spot while Johan Bakayoko faces a tough challenge displacing Jeremy Doku or Leandro Trossard.
Romania (4-3-3): Nita; Ratiu, Dragusin, Burca, Bancu; R. Marin, M. Marin, Stanciu; Man, Dragus, Mihaila
Following an impressive performance against Ukraine,Romania is likely to stick with the same lineup.Valentin Mihaila, who has reportedly been dealing with illness ahead of the opener, could replace Florinel Coman on the left wing if he recovers from illness. Denis Alibec may make a comeback from injury but will most likely start from bench.
Belgium v Romania Predictions
Belgium experienced against Slovakia their first defeat after the 2022 World Cup. They will be desperate for a result and probably will not get as unlucky as they did against Slovakia again.
On the other side, before their triumph over Ukraine, Romania recorded only four victories in their last ten games and entered the opening game at the Euros on the back of four consecutive matches without a win.
Nevertheless, Romania showcased their attacking prowess during the game against Ukraine, particularly on counterattacks. Given Belgium's need to push forward as well, this has the potential to be an enthralling and open match.
As a consequence, we back Romania +2 Handicap and the both teams to score option.
Regarding the correct score, we recommend Belgium to win 2-1 (probably with Romelu Lukaku's name on the scoresheet).
