Belgium play Romania in a must-win situation to avoid the prospect of an early elimination similar to EURO 2020, after falling to Slovakia in the opening day of Group E of EURO 2024 .
It will be a mental test for De Bruyne, Lukaku and the Belgian team as Romania are in high spirits after a resounding 3-0 win over Ukraine.
Losing 0-1 to Slovakia was the first notable shock at EURO 2024, with the goal coming in the 7th minute and then despite trying every way to turn the situation around, they still couldn't do it.
Notably, this was Belgium's first defeat in 15 matches under coach Domenico Tedesco. BBC Sport pointed out that this was the first time Belgium had missed four big chances in a EURO match since 1980.
Belgium vs Romania is the first meeting between the two teams at a major tournament. The last friendly between the two teams was 12 years ago, with Romania winning 2-1 Belgium.
One detail not to be missed is that Belgium has never lost the first two matches in a row at a EURO.
Sportskeeda experts believe that this is a difficult match to predict. Goalkeeper Lunin's terrible mistake helped Romania win 3-0 against Ukraine. But Belgium will hardly let that happen.
Belgium created plenty of chances in their defeat to Slovakia and if their attack is not sloppy they will do what is needed against Romania: take the three points. Prediction: Belgium 2-1 Romania .
BBC Sport football pundit Chris Sutton: Everyone thought Belgium would top Group E but they are under pressure (after losing their opening game). They had two goals disallowed against Slovakia but also wasted a lot of chances.
Lukaku looked like he was playing the ball off his feet. Belgium's defence remains vulnerable but they must beat Romania. Prediction: Belgium 2-1 Romania .
From the perspective of Standard experts, Belgium will show that losing to Slovakia was just an 'accident'. Romania is full of confidence after temporarily leading Belgium in points but they are unlikely to create a surprise against De Bruyne and his teammates. Prediction: Belgium 2-0 Romania .
Sportsmole experts also have no doubt that Belgium will beat Romania, with Tedesco's team correcting the mistakes in the Slovakia match to open the door to a place in the next round of EURO 2024. Prediction: Belgium 2-1 Romania .
Expected lineup:
Belgium: Casteels; Castagne, Debast, Faes, Theate; Tielemans, Onana; Doku, De Bruyne, Trossard; Lukaku
Romania : Nita; Ratiu, Dragusin, Burca, Bancu; R.Marin, M.Marin, Stanciu; Man, Dragus, Mihaila
