Belgium Russia betting prediction

The home team makes its debut in this competition, since they had direct access and didn't have to go through any of the previous rounds. In their last match, for the UEFA Nations League, they got an away loss against Switzerland by (5‑2). In the last 10 home matches Belgium has won 8 and tied 2. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 15 of the last 17 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 6 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 10 of them. In the last 17 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Belgium come to this match after a 5-2 defeat to Switzerland, in a game to count for the League of Nations. We remember that the Belgians finished this competition in the 2nd position of Group 2 of Liga A, with 9 points conquered. In this match against Russia, coach Roberto Martínez should play in the usual 4-2-3-1, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and the successive attacks, mainly through the aisles: Hazard is one of the great responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. It is important to note that Belgium have presented great quality in the counterattack. For this game the manager can not rely on Kevin De Bruyne because of injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Thibaut Courtois, Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Dedryk Boyata, Timothy Castagne, Leander Dendoncker, Youri Tielemans, Dries Mertens, Michy Batshuayi, Thorgan Hazard, Eden Hazard.
Coach: D. Tedesco.
