One can endlessly debate the curse of the Belgian national team and the ill fate that haunts Romelu Lukaku and his teammates, but the fact is that the "Red Devils" create plenty of chances. Lukaku alone had seven good opportunities to score against Slovakia in the opening match. If the Belgians finally play to their potential, as they did in the qualifiers where only Portugal, France, and Spain scored more goals, the Romanian defense will struggle. The attacking trio of Doku-Lukaku-Trossard (even if two of them are replaced by Johan Bakayoko and Loïs Openda, who made a good impact in the second half against Slovakia), supported by the brilliant Kevin De Bruyne from deep, should simply overwhelm the Romanian defense. The only strong point in Romania's backline is Tottenham's backup center-back Radu Drăgușin. Character alone won't be enough to contain such an attack; Romania will need a lot of luck (like Slovakia had in the first match).
We won't rely on such fine margins and
will bet on Belgium to win with a -1.5 handicap at 2.22.Also you can check other options:
