Ireland vs Belgium Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Indran | in Football Predictions
Ireland welcomes Belgium to the Aviva Stadium for this friendly international. The home team will be looking to continue their good form under Stephen Kenny and although they failed to qualify for the World Cup there has been a marked improvement under Kenny. Ireland will be facing the top ranked team in the world but will take comfort from the fact that many of Belgium’s top players will not be playing. The home team have proven difficult to beat in recent times as they have suffered just one defeat in their last ten matches. One of the biggest areas of improvement has been their defence as they have kept clean sheets in their last four matches. They are also unbeaten in their last six home friendly internationals and will fancy their chances against a depleted Belgium team. The previous meeting between these sides ended in a 3-0 win for Belgium in 2017.
Belgium manager Roberto Martinez has chosen not to call up star players Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Dries Merten for this match but still has plenty of quality in the team. Belgium qualified for the World Cup by emphatically winning their group and did so by going unbeaten during the campaign. They have not been in the best of form recently with just one win in their last four matches which has included losses to Italy and France in the UEFA United Nations League. Belgium have not been performing well defensively and have conceded in their last four matches which minnows Estonia also scoring against them.

Our Ireland vs Belgium Prediction
This may the best chance Ireland will have of upsetting the number one ranked Belgium as they are severely depleted for this match. The home team have been miserly in defence and it will not be easy for Belgium to penetrate their defence. This match although a friendly will be fiercely contested with one goal likely to separate the teams. We are backing Ireland to win or draw this match.
