England: Current form and team news
England's football team has managed to qualify for Euro 2024 without a single defeat. However, they recently lost a friendly against Brazil, with Endrick, a young talent, scoring for the visitors. Some of England’s key players are injured, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James, and Jack Grealish. Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane were also unavailable for the match against Brazil and will not be playing against the Belgians. This is a huge blow to the team's attacking power. It's not surprising that they couldn't score a single goal against Brazilians.
Belgium: Current form and team news
Belgium qualified for Euro 2024 with ease, and their coach, Domenico Tedesco, was rewarded with a contract extension. However, their recent friendly game against Ireland ended in a goalless draw. It's worth noting that the squad played without Lukaku and with Doku only as a substitute. Unfortunately, the team is facing some injuries, with Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois out.
England vs Belgium: Facts to know
In the previous match against Brazil (0:1), England suffered their first home defeat in a friendly game in 8 years. Before that, the team was unbeaten in 18 matches.
Belgium have remained unbeaten in 12 matches in a row, with 8 wins and 4 draws.
Belgium have also been unbeaten in 7 away games in a row (5 wins, 2 draws).
England vs Belgium: Head-to-head
England and Belgium have played 10 matches against each other, with each team winning four games and two matches ending in a draw. However, in recent times, Belgium’s team has been more successful against England in important tournaments. In the 2018 World Cup, Belgium won both matches against England (1-0 and 2-0). In the Nations League, the teams exchanged home victories, which allowed Belgium to finish first in their group.
England vs Belgium: Prediction and betting tips
England and Belgium are both dealing with injuries to key players. Without De Bruyne, Belgium is struggling to create opportunities, and Lukaku is not currently in top form. Similarly, England is missing most of their main attacking players. It's unlikely that we will witness a thrilling and high-scoring game. However, it seems absurd for England to lose two matches in a row at Wembley.
Our betting tip: Goals total under 2.5 (Megapari odds - 1.82)
