Belgium vs Slovakia Bet 1: Belgium to win with odds of 1.47 on 22Bet
Belgium’s “golden generation” has failed to deliver a trophy, but they’ve never found too many issues qualifying for the knockout stage. This tournament should be no different and the Red Devils should expect nothing less than three points against Slovakia.
Unbeaten in 15 matches, Belgium have beaten Germany, Austria and held England during this period. Although they are outsiders to lift the trophy, the squad will believe they are capable.
Slovakia have lost to Austria and Portugal (twice) during the same period. Although their squad has strong players, it appears to be a level below Belgium’s. The favourites can put three points on the board as they aim to secure another knockout stage spot at a major tournament.
Belgium vs Slovakia Bet 2: Romelu Lukaku to score with odds of 1.85 on 22Bet
It’s hard to ignore Belgium’s main striker who will be leading the line in their opener.
Romelu Lukaku heads into the EUROs after a successful season in Italy with Roma, having scored 10 Serie A goals, as well as seven in just 13 Europa League matches.
The 31-year-old also scored a brace against Luxembourg in Belgium’s warm-up match heading into their fixture against Slovakia. Although they weren’t the strongest opposition, it was good to see Lukaku as sharp and as confident as ever.
With the likes of Kevin de Bruyne in behind pulling the strings, Lukaku will no doubt be presented with plenty of opportunities. If Belgium are going to go far in this tournament, Lukaku will need to keep on scoring.
Belgium vs Slovakia Bet 3: Both teams to score - no with odds of 1.829 on 22Bet
Belgium have only conceded in one of their last six matches across all competitions, which was against England at Wembley.
Clean sheets against Luxembourg, Montenegro, Ireland, Azerbaijan and Serbia have shown they can deal with a variety of nations and abilities. Belgium only conceded four goals in eight matches during their EURO qualifications.
Although Slovakia managed to qualify for the EUROs, they rarely impressed in front of goal in what was considered to be a really poor group. They’ll need to be at their best if they are to trouble Belgium’s defence, but we believe they are capable of standing firm and keeping them out.
