The Belgian team got off to a great start in the tournament, leaving no chance for Sweden 3-0 in the opening match away.

Lukaku turned out to be the hero of the meeting as part of the Belgians, who chalked up a hat-trick.

Game Totals Prediction

Belgium is gradually rejuvenated, but still remains a force to be reckoned with. Austria, having failed in World Cup qualifiers, got off to a strong start in Euro qualifiers, demonstrating ambitions to play in the final stage of the tournament. The factor of their class and the level of performers bring the "Red Devils" into the status of a favorite. But I'm not expecting a major success for the hosts, the Austrians will fight: Austria won't lose more than 1 goal – handicap 2(+1.5) – 1.55.
