Belgium vs Slovakia: Euro 2024 Group Stage Prediction Match Details
Belgium and Slovakia will kick off their Euro 2024 Group E campaigns on Monday evening at the Frankfurt Arena. Belgium will start the Euro 2024 campaign as the strong favorites to top the group, so anything but three points will be seen as a missed opportunity for them.
Belgium Preview & Form
Belgium is entering the Euro 2024 campaign in strong form, having recently won friendly matches against Montenegro and Luxembourg, scoring five goals and conceding none. They are one of the favorites to advance far in the competition and are expected to top their group, which also includes Ukraine and Romania. Belgium had a fantastic qualifying campaign for the Euros, being unbeaten throughout the 10 games and winning eight of them. Goal-scoring has been an issue for Belgium, as they have failed to score at least one goal in only two of their last 15 matches.
Slovakia Preview & Form
Slovakia will make their third appearance in the European campaign with a mixed run of form. In the qualifiers for the tournament, Slovakia finished comfortably in second place in the group, with only two losses out of 10 games, both against Portugal. They aim to make a significant impact in the tournament after being eliminated in the group stage of Euro 2020. Slovakia’s recent impressive form, including a 4-0 victory in their warm-up games against San Marino in Austria and Wales at home, suggests they could pose a challenge. In their last six matches, Slovakia scored 15 goals and conceded six.
