There are enough famous football players in the Belgian national team. The Red Devilsreached the quarterfinals at the last World Championship and lost only to world champions Spain. The quality of football among Van Bommel's players is not bad, and they have character, as they proved in the last round against Turkey. If the home team can impose a high tempo on the opponent from the first minutes, then the advantage will be on their side and there will be great chances to take one of the two first places in the quartet. We believe that the Red Devils will take advantage of their home field and the support of the fans in Brussels to defeat the Italians, just as they did in the first round of the League of Nations.
Prediction– Belgium wins with a coefficient of 2.17
We believe that there will be few goals in a match of equal opponents. The cost of a mistake is very high, but the national teams will not play indoor football. The Belgians finished three games in a row at the tournament with a total of more, and in three out of five matches, the Italian national team had at least three goals. We believe that the scoring extravaganza will take place and we advise you to pay attention to the high-total bet.
The betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on corners
The Belgian national team lost three matches at the tournament on corner kicks and allowed the opponents to create scoring chances in their penalty area. There is a high probability that a similar game scenario is planned today, and the Italians will surely win in the corners.
Prediction — Italy wins on corners with a coefficient of 2.80
