Israel vs Belgium Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The home team pulled a defensive masterclass against Les Bleus. 

Israel are set to welcome another powerhouse of European football Belgium at the Bozsik Arena in the final group game of the UEFA Nations League aiming to finish the group by securing their first win. 

Israel will be in high spirits heading into this game after pulling a defensive masterclass against France to register their first point after limiting them to a goalless draw. Ran Ben Shimon’s side has been unfortunate after being drawn to heavyweights like France, Italy, and Belgium in the group of death. Currently languishing in the bottom spot, Israel will likely drop to the UEFA Nations League B as a result of finishing bottom. 

Belgium on the other hand have also struggled to maintain its grip on the competition. The Red Devils are currently third in the standings and are certainly out of the quarterfinal places. Goalscoring has been a major problem for the team after missing several glorious chances to win their previous games against the Italians. It will be interesting to watch how Domenico Tedesco’s team finishes their campaign against stubborn Israel in the final group game.

Players to Watch

Daniel Peretz (⁠Israel)

The 24-year-old Bayern Munich keeper had an excellent game against France and was deservedly awarded the man of the match after pulling some impressive saves to keep Israel in the game. Peretz made an astonishing eight saves in the game and was also effective in claiming the ball from set pieces to release the pressure from the team. 

Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)

Romelu Lukaku has an incredible record for his national team and is their leading goalscorer with 85 goals from 120 appearances. Over the years he has proved to be the decision-maker for them scoring goals frequently. However, he will be disappointed to miss a few chances against Belgium. Hopefully, he can guide the team to a victory here.
