Belgium – Russia, Euro 2020 Prediction

🔝 Belgium are the absolute favorite in the group

Belgium has the oldest squad of these Euros as we watch the average age of the players. This generation began to build about 10 years ago, when all the top clubs in England had a few Belgians in the squad. Over time, this team progressed in major forums and peaked at the World Cup in 2018, when the Red Devils finished in 3rd place and dropped out of the future champion, France, then. Given that this is the last Euro for most of these players, and now they are around the peak of their careers, we expect the best performance from the team in this tournament.

⏩ Russia is not in its best condition for Euro 2020

Russia is not performing convincingly after the big break last year due to the coronavirus. Two remarkable victories over Serbia and Hungary in the League of Nations, but then only 3 victories in 11 matches over teams such as Malta, Slovenia and lastly Bulgaria at the end of the match, but with not very good performance. The Russians had a great World Cup, which they hosted 3 years ago, but now the team has a certain regression since then.

 We expect easy success for the Red Devils

Russia’s strength is that they play in 2 of their 3 matches at home in St. Petersburg, and their other trump card is the fact that 22 of the 26 players play in the Russian Premier League and know their game quite well. The Belgians will be without de Bruyne and Hazard for this match, who are their main players. Probably for these reasons, the odds for the Red Devils are higher, but we believe that despite all this, the huge class of Belgium will prevail and they will win, as we expect the team overall to go quite far in the tournament. Prediction – Belgium to win at 1.66.
