Betting Tips: Belgium vs Israel
Belgium and Israel face off in the UEFA Nations League, with both teams entering the match in contrasting form. Belgium will be looking to bounce back after a narrow defeat to France, while Israel enters the game on a high after a resounding victory over Belarus. Here’s a detailed breakdown of betting tips ahead of the game:
1. Belgium Win
Belgium is clearly the stronger team with more quality in their squad, boasting talents such as Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Thibaut Courtois. Historically, Belgium has won both previous encounters against Israel and comes into the match with a solid recent record. Their dominant performances in earlier matches (such as wins over Romania, Luxembourg, and Montenegro) also underline their ability to handle lower-ranked opposition like Israel. Given this, Belgium is the clear favorite.
Betting Tip: Belgium to win (1X2)
2. Under 2.5 Goals
Belgium has shown a pattern of keeping things tight in their recent games, with two of their last six matches ending 1-0 or 0-0. Israel, while capable of scoring against weaker opponents, might struggle to break down Belgium’s defense. With a disciplined approach from Israel and Belgium aiming for a controlled performance, this game could see fewer goals.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
3. Both Teams to Score – No
Belgium’s defense, anchored by experienced players like Vertonghen and Courtois, has been tough to break down. Israel’s attack might not be strong enough to score against a team of Belgium’s caliber. Considering that Israel failed to score in one of their recent games against tougher opposition, it’s likely that Belgium can keep a clean sheet.
Betting Tip: Both teams to score – No
4. Romelu Lukaku to Score Anytime
Romelu Lukaku has been a consistent goal threat for Belgium in recent matches. His physical presence and ability to convert chances in the box make him a key player in this matchup. He has also been in good form for Belgium, and against a relatively weaker Israel defense, he is likely to find the back of the net.
Betting Tip: Lukaku to score anytime
5. Correct Score Prediction
Considering Belgium’s defensive strength and Israel’s likelihood to struggle against top-tier teams, a straightforward victory with a modest scoreline seems probable. Belgium’s last two wins against Israel were both low-scoring affairs, which makes a 2-0 result a reasonable prediction.
Betting Tip: Correct Score – Belgium 2-0 Israel
Prediction:
- Belgium 2-0 Israel
Belgium’s superior squad depth and quality should be enough to secure a comfortable win. Israel is likely to defend deep but could struggle to contain Belgium’s attacking players like Lukaku and De Bruyne. A 2-0 win for Belgium seems likely, with Israel unable to break down Belgium’s defense.
