Betting tips – Belgium vs Ireland – 18.06.2016
Belgium and Ireland will open the Saturday at EURO 2016 with a crucial game from Group E. The first whistle of the game will be at 14:00, UK Time.
Belgium were the third favourite to win EURO 2016 before the start, but they ticked a bad result in the opening round. De Bruyne, Lukaku and their teammates lost 0-2 to Italy, altough they controlled the whole game. Now they need three points more than ever, otherwise they will certainly have problems in qualifying. Belgium have a stronger squad, no doubt about that, but we’ll see if they can be a team and not only individuals.
Ireland faced Sweden in the first round of EURO 2016. They were leading one goal when Clark scored an own goal. They won one point after 1-1 vs Zlatan & Co, being still in the fight. Ireland need a good result here, since the last game is going to be really difficult, as they will face Italy, the leading team in Group E.
Belgium vs Ireland probable lineups:
Belgium (4-2-3-1): Courtois – Ciman, Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Vertonghen – Fellaini, Nainggolan – Carrasco, Bruyne, Hazard – Lukaku.
Ireland (4-3-1-2): Randolph – Coleman, O’Shea, Clark, Brady – McCarthy, Whelan, Hendrick – Hoolahan – Keane, Long.
Belgium vs Ireland prediction: 1 @ 1.75
Taking a look at these two squads, Belgium are superior without a shadow of doubt. They have only one option here, to win the game, and that is what we expect to see Saturday afternoon from Hazard & Co.
