England vs Belgium prediction 26.03.2024

England was defeated by Brazil, however, the team’s head coach, Gareth Southgate, expressed contentment. He stated, “Although I am not fond of losing matches, I observed multiple commendable performances from players who haven’t played much for England. Our regular players performed exceptionally well. With 15 minutes remaining, we realized that we had successfully observed a lot of new players. We had our fair share of the game and had as many attempts on goal as the opposing team. Ultimately, a single moment made the difference. This is the unforgiving nature of this level.”

Naturally, England had to play without the injured Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka, who are also set to miss the game against Belgium.

Belgium’s Head Coach, Domenico Tedesco, expressed his dissatisfaction with his team’s tie against Ireland. He commented, “The game was challenging, not just for the players, but it was also dull with few opportunities from both sides. Pay attention to the second half specifically; they didn’t have a single shot at our goal, and we only had one. This made the game monotonous, but the players still found it hard; there was no room to move on the field, and slow play made it easier for the opponent. Our starting line-up consisted of several young players lacking in rhythm; we anticipated a deficit in intensity and structure. This was a first-time experience for this team playing together.”

Belgium is missing Romelu Lukaku and Charles De Ketelaere due to injuries.
