Belgium heads into their Euro 2024 clash with Romania fully aware that this game is crucial to secure a victory. The Red Devils were taken shocked by a surprising 1-0 defeat to Slovakia in their first match, making this upcoming game a must-win. On the other hand, the Romanians find themselves in a different position.
Despite Domenico Tedesco’s optimism, Belgium will be concerned about another early departure after failing to go beyond the first round of the World Cup in Qatar less than two years ago.
On the other hand, the Romanians, who were not expected to perform well, are aware that a three-goal victory puts them in a strong position to advance to the next stage. Even a single point would almost certainly secure their progress.
