Command Analysis
Israel
IsraelCurrent form
Israel failed to score a single point in four rounds. The team is clearly inferior in class to all its opponents in the group. However, credit should be given to the players who did not give up and sensationally drew with France in Paris in the fifth round (0:0). Of course, they were lucky in some ways, considering that the opponent did not realize many chances and had a significant advantage, but the Israelis also played with decent dedication. With one point scored, Ran Ben Shimon team is still in last place, three points behind Belgium. They can only beat their opponents by winning with an advantage of more than two goals.
Despite the fact that the Israeli team is significantly inferior in class to all of its opponents in the group, in four of the five matches played the team scored goals. The team clearly used its few chances. However, in defense it was only possible to miraculously avoid conceding goals in the game with France. In the other matches Israel conceded at least two goals. In particular, with a score of 1:3 a defeat was recorded against Belgium in the first round. The only chance to achieve a positive result today is to play reliably in defense, using its chances in counterattacks.

Belgium
BelgiumCurrent form
Belgium has failed in the current Nations League. Four points in five rounds, third place - this is far from the result that fans were expecting. With a high degree of probability, the Belgians will finish third and will play play-off matches for the right to remain in League A. Obviously, internal problems in the team and the reluctance of the leaders to play under the leadership of Domenico Tedesco had an effect.
Against the background of the top teams of France and Italy, the team could not demonstrate anything. Yes, they drew with the Italians in the first round with a score of 2:2, but there was a red card for the opponent in the first half. In the second round game, Italy scored an early goal, the Belgians in the remaining time (almost the entire match) scored only three shots on target. With France, they did not even manage to cling to a draw (defeats 0:2 and 1:2).
It should be noted that https://www.rbfa.be/nl target=_blank rel=noopener>the Belgian national team is playing the November matches without Courtois and De Bruyne. Romelu Lukaku returned to the squad, but even he could not help the team to open up the reliable defense of the Italians in the previous round.
Disqualifications and injuries
De Ketelaere, De Bruyne and Courtois will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Belgium have not won in the first half in their last five matches
- Belgium have failed to win in regulation time in five of their last six Nations League matches.
- Belgium have conceded in seven consecutive Nations League matches
- The team has scored in six of its previous nine matches in this tournament for less than a year.
Probable line-up: Casteels - Fas, Debast, Teate - Castagne, Engels, Onana, Trossard, De Kuyper - Openda, Lukaku.

1.50Tip and bets
In the first round, Belgium won 3-1 on their home field in class. Tedesco team has not improved their game in the past time. At the same time, the Israeli footballers will play on a decent emotional courage after taking points from France in Paris. The obvious nominal hosts will again rely on defense and can avoid a major defeat due to decent dedication, especially since the Belgians are not so strong now to regularly achieve confident victories in class. We recommend betting on the underdog in this pair.
Our prediction is Israel victory with an Asian handicap (+1.5) at odds of 1.75
Bet on total
Israel, not without a bit of luck, survived the confrontation with France and will obviously play strictly defensively today. We do not think that in their current state Belgium will be able to open up the opponent dense defense several times. We believe that more than two goals will not be scored in the match.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.45
Bet on corners
There is no doubt that the Belgians will play first number and will most likely win in corners. Moreover, in six of the previous seven matches the team won in this indicator with an advantage of at least two corners.
Prediction - Belgium win on corners with handicap (-1.5) with odds of 1.55
