Belgium vs Greece Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Nella Wagah | in Football Predictions
Belgium start their preparation for the European Championship with a friendly game against former European champions, Greece on Thursday. With all the talent in their fold, Belgium have no major trophy to parade and they will go to this competition not just as one of the favorites, but also hoping to win it. They had a good run in the World Cup qualifiers in March, and after wins over Wales, Belarus and a draw with Czech Republic, they eye a good run here. Belgium have welcomed back Thierry Henry to the coaching unit and while it may be a boost after serving in the role during the 2018 World Cup, the main job is in getting their talented squad to play together, and win. Key man Kevin De Bruyne remains a concern after suffering a facial injury in the Champions League final while Eden Hazard has had injury troubles all season at Real Madrid. Axel Witsel has been out for a majority of the season but Roberto Martinez has kept faith in the Borussia Dortmund man, hoping to get the best out of him in the Euros. The top ranked nation in the world goes to this friendly match against 51st placed Greece as favorites and playing in Brussels favors them even more. Belgium have no loss in the last seven matches, and only one in the last 21. They have top forwards and have been great in attack, but Martinez will want to focus a bit more on the defence. The team has managed just two clean sheets in the last 10 matches though they have scored two or more in seven of the 10 matches.
Greece missed the cut as far as Euro 2020 is concerned and they can only prepare for the 2022 World Cup. It is the second straight time they miss the Euros and third time they’ve missed a major tournament, having last been there at the 2014 World Cup. With the World Cup qualifiers continuing in September, the 2004 European champions will be focused on friendly matches to try and stay in shape. Greece are unbeaten in eight matches but in the last four matches they’ve drawn three. The team has gone without a clean sheet in the last three matches though they’ve managed to score in eight of their last 10 games. Their last away match, against Spain ended 1-1 and they haven’t done so well on their travels, going here with seven defeats in their last 15 away matches. They’ve won just five of the 15 away matches and the wins have been against low ranked nations – Moldova, Kosovo, Armenia, Liechtenstein and Estonia.

Our Belgium vs Greece Prediction
Belgium will take this game seriously as they get to test themselves ahead of the Euros. They have the quality, especially in attack, and can only hope for improvement in defence. Greece have a poor away run and are expected to struggle against this Belgium side. However, Greece have a consistent scoring run and will want to use that against their hosts who haven’t kept a lot of clean sheets. Both teams to score can be a good pick here but over 2.5 goals looks like a sure bet.
