PREDICTION
This is perhaps the biggest mis-match in the opening round of group stage fixtures at UEFA EURO 2024. Belgium, now coached by former Schalke boss Domenico Tedesco, are evolving their style of football with a newer generation of players but still spearheaded by the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku. Slovakia will attempt to play a more progressive style of football than many would naturally expect with Francesco Calzona, who finished the season as Napoli boss, at the helm. That might make this a little more interesting for the neutral but should also suit Belgium and a comfortable victory for the Red Devils by more than one or two goals is to be expected.
