Our prediction for the match Belgium vs Israel
“The Red Devils”, after their failure at the World Cup in Qatar, broke off their cooperation with Roberto Martinez, although it was the Spanish specialist who brought a record result in the form of a bronze medal at the World Cup in 2018. Tedesco, who replaced him, coped with the first task quite confidently, winning his group. As for “the White and Blues”, the team once again failed to take advantage of a rather successful draw, finishing only third, behind not only Switzerland, but also the “unbelievable” Romania.
Zahavi and the company had another chance, through the League of Nations. Still, they failed the very first match, losing with a 1-4 score to Iceland. Moreover, it was Eran who missed a penalty in the decisive moment. Then there were friendly games in June: there happened a 0-3 score in the struggle with Hungary and a 4-0 result in the confrontation with Belarus. The Belgian team played at the Euro, but the performance was really weak: it lost to Slovakia in the group, and reduced the match with Ukraine to a goalless draw after beating the Romanians. As a result, the team advanced to the 1/8 finals, but it lost to France due to a late own goal by Vertonghen there.
Ironically, Jan ended his career after that. Courtois never made peace with Tedesco, and Batshuayi simply cannot stand the competition. The nominal guests will be without their top scorers, Zahavi and Weissman.
