Israel vs. Belgium: Match Preview
Israel managed to take a point against France in their previous game, finishing with a 0-0 draw. However, that’s the only positive for the team so far. They have just one point from five matches and sit at the bottom of their Nations League group. Israel is likely to be relegated to League B. Additionally, the team hasn’t won in five matches and struggles to score goals.
For Belgium, this Nations League campaign hasn’t been very successful either. They were drawn into a tough group with Italy and France. In five matches, Belgium has managed only one win—against Israel—along with one draw against Italy and four losses. Belgium also has a negative goal difference of 6:8. With only four points, they sit third in the group and are already out of contention for the Nations League playoffs.
Probable Lineups
- Israel: Peretz; Dasa, Nachmias, Shlomo, Goldberg, Haziza; Solomon, Abu Fani, Jaber, Gloukh; David
- Belgium: Casteels; Castagne, Debast, Faes, Theate; Mangala, Onana; Lukebakio, Trossard, Bakayoko; Lukaku
Prediction
Belgium is the clear favorite in this match. Despite their recent poor run, I believe they have what it takes to defeat Israel. Moreover, they will likely want to finish this Nations League campaign with a strong statement. My bet is on Belgium’s individual total of over two goals, with odds of 1.72.
