Belgium vs. Romania
Saturday's Euro 2024 nightcap comes in Group E, and it should be an excellent match as Belgium (0-0-1) looks to bounce back against Romania (1-0-0). This contest is set for 3:00 p.m. ET from Cologne Stadium in Köln, Germany.
Probably the biggest shocker of the tournament came on Monday when Slovakia stunned Belgium in a 1-0 contest. The Belgians posted an xG mark of 1.6 in their 1-0 shutout loss, which signals to me that they managed several quality scoring chances. They made 16 total shots (four on target) and controlled 60% of the possession. Ultimately, I think the experienced duo of Romelu Lukaku (85 international goals) and Kevin De Bruyne (27) should manage to create a few goals in this match. I'm going to take the over.
On the flip side, Romania ran up a 3-0 victory over Ukraine, posting an xG mark of 1.1 in the process. This will definitely be a tougher task, but I think the Tricolours will be able to score at least one goal. Over their last eight competitive matches (6-2-0), Romania has racked up 13 goals. That's a respectable 1.6 goals per match. Look, I'm not saying Romania's offense is good enough to make a run at winning the tournament, but I think they'll have chances to contribute to the final score going over. Let's sit back and root for offense in this one - give me the over!
Bet: Over 2.5 (-140)
