Belgium vs Ukraine prediction and betting tips on March 23, 2025
Game Prediction
In the playoffs for the right to play in Division A of the Nations League on March 23, 2025, a return match will be held between the national teams of Belgium and Ukraine. The hosts need a decisive victory to stay in the group of the strongest.
Our prediction for the match Belgium vs Ukraine
Belgians and Ukrainians played in the same group at the Euros, particularly in the third, decisive round. Before this, each team managed to lose and win once. As a result, with draws in this match and the parallel one, Rebrov's charges ended up last, although they scored the same four points as the group winner. However, their opponents collectively exited the round of 16 - Belgians conceded an own goal late to lose to France.
In autumn, the teams received rather negative reviews. Ukrainians started with defeats to the Czech Republic and Albania. But then they scored four points with the Georgians, finished 1-1 in Prague, and finally won in Tirana, moving from the last to the final second place. Belgians even lost to Israel (more precisely, exchanged wins with them), but due to drawing with Italy at home while losing twice to France and once to Italy, they still came third. Nevertheless, Tedesco was removed from his post. He was replaced by Rudy Garcia. The debut in Murcia began with a confidently won first half, but later the opponent, even after losing two right-backs, scored three times.
Lukaku and company rolled so far back that they scored just 0.9 goals per match, and until Courtois' return, conceded 1.1 goals, now even 1.3. The visitors have a more respectable ratio - 1.3.
