Euro 2024: BELGIUM - SLOVAKIA (11PM, JUNE 17) - 3 points for ...

Although the "golden generation" of Belgian football has theoretically disbanded, coach Domenico Tedesco still has talented midfielder Kevin de Bruyne - who has been given the responsibility of leading the new version of the "Red Devils". He will combine with a squad of famous veterans such as Jan Vertonghen, Axel Witsel, Thomas Meunier, Timothy Castagne, Youri Tielemans, Romelu Lukaku and talented young faces such as Jeremy Doku, Leandro Trossard, Lois Openda...

Belgium is currently on a 14-match unbeaten streak since the 2022 World Cup, with 6 wins and 2 draws, and has taken the top spot in the Euro 2024 qualifying group. The most notable achievement in this impressive streak is striker Romelu Lukaku winning the title of "Top scorer" with 14 goals - a record that is perhaps unprecedented in the qualifying round of Euro tournaments.

Although not highly rated among the candidates for the championship, Belgium is still very confident in challenging all opponents at Euro 2024, of which Slovakia will likely be the first "victim".

Slovakia's recent form has been remarkable, as they finished second in Group J, behind only Portugal; won both of their pre-Euro friendlies, including a 4-0 thrashing of Wales.

Without stars in the squad, Slovakia, in their third consecutive Euro appearance, still has difficulty hoping to win one of the top two positions in the group to continue to the knockout stage.

If anything, they will have to calculate to minimize the defeat against Belgium and focus on the race for the second ticket. Worse still, Slovakia must get the third position in the group with the best result to dream of a play-off ticket.
