Romania

Romania unexpectedly beat Ukraine (3:0) in the first game. Romania turned 60% of their shots on target into goals, ending their 7-game (European Championship) winless streak (3 draws, 4 defeats). This was the first time Romania won their opening European Championship game.

Belgium – Romania Prediction

Romania topped their qualifying group and their first Euro 2024 game. They are confident in defence, using the attempts they have in attack. Romania are likely to play in the same style they did in the first match as Belgium will give them free space.

Belgium have obvious problems with scoring. Romelu Lukaku fails too much. Romania will do their best to tie this game. If they have 4 points after the first 2 rounds they will qualify for the knockout phase.

Our prediction is Romania +1 at 2,05.
