Belgium have just fallen victim to one of the biggest surprises of EURO 2024 , losing to Slovakia with a goal conceded in the 7th minute.
It was Belgium's first defeat under Domenico Tedesco, after a 14-match unbeaten run and an outstanding qualifying campaign.
Belgium 's defeat came from a lack of efficiency in terms of gameplay. The "Red Devils" had more than 60% possession and had 16 shots but all were disappointing.
Romelu Lukaku had the ball in the net twice against Slovakia but both times he was denied goals. He was the representative of Belgium's disappointment with clear chances missed.
Trossard failed to show his Arsenal form and squandered good chances, while Doku was the cause of the defeat with his passes leading to goals, and often abused his individual skills.
Entering the second match of Group E EURO2024 against Romania, coach Tedesco did not rule out the possibility of bringing about major changes in playing style.
Arthur Theate could feature in defence as a left-back. Tielemans is being considered to replace Mangala to bring energy to midfield and better support the attack.
Tedesco is also considering leaving Trossard out and using Bakayoko to exploit the 21-year-old winger's pace and technique.
Romania got off to a dream start by beating Ukraine 3-0. However, the victory was largely due to the opponent's self-destruction.
The match against Belgium will be very different. That will force coach Edward Iordanescu to choose a defensive solution and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
In the win over Ukraine, coach Iordanescu took key players off early. Therefore, Romania did not need to change the starting lineup, except to adjust the system to suit a stronger opponent.
Long-range shots will be exploited by Romania, especially when the new ball at EURO 2024 - the smart Fussballliebe - is less affected by air resistance and flies at a faster speed.
After Ukraine came from behind to beat Slovakia, if Belgium overcomes difficulties to defeat Romania, the situation in Group E will be more unpredictable with 4 teams all having 3 points.
Expected lineup:
Belgium (4-3-3): Casteels; Castagne, Faes, Vertonghen, Theate; Tielemans, Onana, De Bruyne; Doku, Lukaku, Bakayoko.
Romania (4-3-3): Nita; Ratiu, Burca, Dragușin, Bancu; R Marin, M Marin, Stanciu; Man, Draguș, Coman.
Match odds: Belgium handicap 1 1/4
Goal ratio: 2 3/4
Prediction: Belgium win 2-1 .
