Belgium vs Romania preview
Belgium’s golden generation couldn’t reach their potential. This new crop have somehow started even poorer than that.
It’s still a strong Belgian side that took to the field on Monday night to face Slovakia, which makes the 1-0 defeat even more of a shock.
They’ll still fancy progressing out the group – and probably still have eyes on being group winners – but their defeat was the first big shock of the tournament and HAS to kick them into gear.
Romelu Lukaku did have the ball in the net on two occasions, both ruled out by VAR.

With Ukraine still to come, Kevin de Bruyne and co won’t be panicking yet but it was far from a decent start.
To the contrary, Romania started splendidly with a momentous 3-0 win over Ukraine in their opening match.
Nicolae Stanciu opened the scoring with an absolute screamer, only for Razvan Marin to double their lead with an equally special goal.
There was lots to like about the performance and avoiding defeat here would put them into an incredible position for the knockout rounds.

Belgium vs Romania tips
Bounceback
They need a result and you have to assume Belgium will get exactly that.
There’s too much quality in that squad for them not to get up and running sooner rather than later, even with Romania’s impressive start.
Question marks at the back though so fancy the Romanians to get on the scoresheet.

Luk to do well
Romelu Lukaku was a touch unfortunate not to pick up a couple of goals the other night.
He had two chalked off by VAR and his presence caused Slovakia problems.
Fancied to score here but we’ve gone in search of a little more value.

Quick opening
Belgium-heavy these tips but for good reason.
A fast start is needed and they should get it, with an early goal good value in the betting.
