The Romanians are in a completely different boat, basking in the glory of their opening day win over Ukraine and they know that they can have a good crack at the Belgians here, in what should be a super game for both punters and betting apps.

Belgium vs Romania Analysis
Both sides are approaching this one from very different standpoints in Group E.
Belgium
Dominic Tedesco’s Belgium side looked to be well under par in their opening game defeat to Slovakia and the picture has become even clearer for them now. Anything other than a win here against Romania, will leave them with a mountain to climb if they are to progress from Euro 2024 Group E. They have so many good players in their ranks though, who can all turn on the style at any point and they should be bang up for this one in Cologne.
Belgium Predicted Lineup:
Casteels, Faes, Witsel, Meunier, Castagne, Mangala, Doku, Onana, Trossard, De Bruyne & Lukaku.
Romania
Carrying on their incredible form from qualifying, Romania were hugely impressive in their opening game win over Ukraine, and they won’t fear this assignment against one of the best sides in the world. They will be huge underdogs here in Cologne but they have been backed to the hilt throughout this tournament and having not lost a competitive match in the best part of 2 years, they could be up for causing another upset here for a few punters and Euro 2024 betting sites.
Romania Predicted Lineup:
Moldovan, Mogos, Dragusin, Olaru, Racovitan, Sut, Sorescu, Cicaldau, Hagi, Coman & Puscas.
Belgium vs Romania Prediction
This is a massive game for Belgium and their golden generation, and they are sure to be feeling the pressure here in Cologne. Romania should revel in their role as underdogs too and they should make this one very tough for Dominic Tedesco’s side. That said, it feels as if Belgium need a defining moment and they could well get one here in Cologne to kick start their Euro 2024 campaign.
Prediction: Belgium to win the match – 1/2 (-150) – Jeffbet.
Belgium vs Romania – The Ultimate Bet
Belgium to win & BTTS – 23/10 (+230) – Betgoodwin
Romania will be doing all they can to make this one as open as possible and they could catch Belgium on the break but they may struggle to keep this potent Belgian attack at bay and it could be a goal fest in Cologne.
