2018 World Cup bronze medallists Belgium open their Euro 2024 account against Slovakia, with both sides chasing an opening round win in Group E. Belgium have tended to come up short in recent times in major tournaments but they are a side packed with talent, even if their golden generation is beginning to wear off a touch. Slovakia are always a tough nut to crack in major tournaments and they will be out to make this an unpredictable one for both punters and betting apps.

Belgium vs Slovakia Analysis
Both sides will be desperate to get their Euro 2024 campaigns off to a strong start here.
Belgium
After a decade or so of major tournament disappointment, Belgium could flourish at Euro 2024 with very little expectations within their ranks. Having the likes of Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku will be hugely helpful for Belgium, who do have one of the more favourable groups in Group E and they shouldn’t be discarded under any circumstances but an opening win over Slovakia here feels essential to their hopes.
Belgium Predicted Lineup:
Casteels, Faes, Witsel, Meunier, Castagne, Mangala, Tielemans, Onana, Trossard, De Bruyne & Lukaku.
Slovakia
Despite not really managing to make much of an impact when at major tournaments, this is the 4th consecutive European Championships that Slovakia have qualified for, and they will believe that they are firmly in the mix in a very open Group E. This first game against Belgium should be a very stern test but should they manage to pick up any sort of result here then they could be in the hunt to reach the last 16 with some punters and Euro 2024 betting sites.
Slovakia Predicted Lineup:
Dubravka, Skriniar, Pekarik, Vavro, Hancko, Kucka, Duda, Lobotka, Haraslin, Tupta & Bozenik.
Belgium vs Slovakia Prediction
Despite less expectation on Belgium than in recent tournaments, they will be firmly expected to come out on top here against an inexperienced Slovakia side. There should be plenty of Belgian fans out in force here in Frankfurt and whilst Slovakia will make this tough and physical, Belgium should manage to get their campaign off to a winning start here.
Prediction: Belgium to win the match – 1/2 (-150) – Jeffbet.
Belgium vs Slovakia – The Ultimate Bet
Belgium to win & BTTS – 21/10 (+210) – Betgoodwin
Slovakia come into this one fresh off a thumping warm up win over Wales and they should be confident here but Belgium have top quality all across the pitch and they should come out on top in this one.
