Belgium vs. Slovakia is on the program on Monday, June 17, at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt. Judging by the 2024 Euro odds, the Red Devils should have no major issues winning this game. The main reason is that they’re without a single loss since the World Cup in Qatar.
Everyone knows how mighty the Belgian squad is, including Slovakia. That’s why they’re likely to “park the bus” in front of their goal and do all they can to turn the Belgium vs. Slovakia game into a boring draw. So, will the Slovaks pull it off? Let’s find out.
Before Betting on Belgium vs. Slovakia
It’s no surprise Belgium is expected to win this game. After all, this team’s Euro 2024 squad is packed with real elite players. Their biggest star is Kevin De Bruyne, a 32-year-old veteran who’s generally considered one of the best playmakers of his generation.
What’s interesting is that he’s just one of six outfield players in the Belgian squad who are over 30. This team is packed with rising stars who are eager to showcase their talent. It’s almost the opposite when it comes to Belgium’s first opponent, Slovakia.
The core of the Slovak national soccer team is made of experienced players who know how to play big games – Juraj Kucka (37 years old), Peter Pekarik (37), and Stanislav Lobotka who’s turning 30 this year.
All the aforementioned players are either defenders or midfielders who tend to do hard defensive work in every game. Add to that the fact that Slovakia also has a great goalkeeper in 35-year-old Martin Dubravka, and you’ll understand that this team’s strongest weapon is defense.
Belgium vs. Slovakia Offshore Odds & Pick
Bookmakers favor Belgium to win this game and we can only agree. However, we don’t think the Red Devils will have an easy job on Monday. Slovakia’s players will defend with all they’ve got, making it really hard for the opposition to find the net. That said, if the Belgians are going to win, they’re going to do it by scoring either one or two goals.
