Belgium and Slovakia will face off on Monday as part of the first day of Euro 2024. The latest information here.
The European continent is currently vibrating to the rhythm of Euro 2024. Started on Friday, the first day of the tournament is still underway and will only end in two days. On Monday, Group E will enter the competition, made up of nations such as Belgium, Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine. One of the first two posters of this group pits Belgium against Slovakia.
Belgium must make an impression from the start against Slovakia
Usual favorite of major competitions without ever winning, Belgium approaches this Euro in the shoes of an outsider. A change in status which is explained in particular by their elimination in the group stage during the 2022 World Cup. This time, the Red Devils are less expected than in recent years.
But Belgium will have to assert itself this Monday when it enters the fray against Slovakia. This is also the first time that the two nations will face each other in a major tournament. They had always met in friendly matches for a record of one victory and two draws in favor of the Belgians. A statistic that Belgium will be keen to improve this Monday.
Prediction Belgium – Slovakia, the Red Devils winners and Lukaku scorer
This is Slovakia’s fourth participation in a major tournament (Euro and World Cup combined). For this edition, the Slovaks will try to get past the round of 16, their best run in an international competition. But first, we will first have to get out of a very open Group E, starting with a positive result against Belgium. If Slovakia has only won two of its seven matches at the Euro (1 draw, 4 defeats), it has won seven of its nine matches in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, only losing against Portugal, two times. Results that Slovakia would like to draw inspiration from against Belgium this Monday.
