On Saturday evening, Belgium is set to face Romania. Romania has given themselves a great start by winning their first match 3-0 against Ukraine, while Belgium suffered a surprising 0-1 loss to Slovakia. This is the biggest upset in Euro 2024 so far. Both De Bruyne and Lukaku were furious after the match, and they will be determined to get back on track.

A Very Tight Group:

Group E is incredibly tight, and it’s difficult to predict the final standings. If Belgium wins this match, all three teams will have 3 points after the second round, making it very exciting and possibly bringing goal difference into play. Romania is in a good position and will look to secure at least a point against Belgium or limit their loss to one goal.

Key Players to Watch:

For Belgium, the standout players are De Bruyne and Lukaku, but keep an eye on the lightning-fast Doku, who had a disappointing first match. For Romania, it was more of a team effort, but Stanciu looked impressive and scored in the opening game.

The Referee:

The match will be officiated by Polish referee Szymon Marciniak, who is one of the favorites to officiate in the semi-finals and final. This season, he has officiated 5 Champions League matches, averaging 5 yellow cards per game, and one Europa League match where he handed out 6 yellow cards and 1 red card. I’ve had good experiences betting on matches he officiates, and this could be an exciting game with Belgium having everything at stake.

Why You Should Bet:

It’s clear that Belgium has everything to play for, while Romania will likely try to waste time to secure at least a point. As the stakes rise, we’ve seen more cards being issued in recent matches. Betting on a minimum of 4 cards at odds of 10/11 is a reasonable choice, and that’s my bet for this match
