Venue: King Baudouin Stadium.

Belgium are the best team in the world at the moment, and are in blistering form. They have high hopes for the upcoming Euros. Against the inconsistent and struggling Croatia, they are inferred to have the upper hand.

Ranked first in the FIFA list, Belgium have vowed football fans with their star-studded line-up. Fans at home expect a superb campaign from their golden generation of players in the upcoming Euro Cup.

It’s important that the team get on the right track, and build some needed momentum, and this coming match-up is a great opportunity for that.

Belgium were a part of League A in the Nations League, and secured qualification to the semis with a first-place finish in Group A2. They had scored the most-number of goals, and had conceded the least.

Furthermore, they secured entry into the Euros with a first-place finish in Group I in the Qualifiers. It was an unbelievable campaign – as the team recorded wins in all ten fixtures, and had a combined scorecard of 40-3 in the process.

Meanwhile, Croatia narrowly avoided relegation to League B in the UNL, as they finished level on points with the relegated Sweden, in Group A3. They escaped only due to a marginally better goal difference.

In the Euro Qualifiers, they were winless in three of their total eight games, and had a combined scorecard of 17-7 in the process – a stark contrast from that of Belgium’s campaign.

By the looks of things, expect a Belgium victory this Sunday.

Belgium were unbeaten in 20 of their preceding 21 overall fixtures, and they had won 18 of their past 21 games. Moreover, it’s been over five years since they have lost at home.
