Belgium vs Slovakia. Will the Devils confirm their status as the quartet's favorite?
On June 17 as part of the 1st round of Euro 2024, at the Deutsche Bank Park arena (Frankfurt), the national teams of Belgium and Slovakia will compete.
The Belgian national team is already habitually considered the favorite of major international tournaments, but the team has never been able to justify such a high status. The “red devils” showed themselves very poorly at the 2022 World Cup, where the team did not even manage to qualify from the group. The Belgians have already performed better at the 2020 European Championship, reaching the quarterfinals. Domenico Tedesco's boys had no problems in this Euro qualifying round; the team became the best in Group F, earning 20 points. The Red Devils also held a number of friendly matches, in the last of which they drew with England 2:2.
Euro 2024 is De Bruyne and company's last chance for success in the national team.
Slovakia
The Slovakian national team could not gain momentum for a long time, remaining in the middle peasant status in Europe. Only recently have the Slovak Falcons managed to improve their performance, and the team began to regularly make it to the main round of the Euro. In the current qualifying campaign, Francesco Calzona's team managed to get the most out of themselves; the team finished in second position in Group J, behind only the formidable Portugal team. Also, the Slovakian national team managed to take part in a number of friendly matches, in the last of which they tied with Norway 1:1.
Slovakia is a team without stars, and is strong precisely in its integrity and compactness.
