Belgium – Can Belgium keep their 100% record intact?
Belgium have stormed to the top of Group I as they’ve made an impressive start to their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, winning all three of their group matches to date with victories picked up against Russia 3-1 at home, a 2-0 win away at Cyprus and a 3-0 home win against Kazakhstan.
The Belgians look in ominous form as they prepare for the visit of Scotland who they’ve beaten in all of their previous four meetings against the visitors, and will no doubt be looking to record a fifth win on the trot here.
Overall form has been good for the hosts who have won 8 of their last 10 matches in all competitions while on home turf, the hosts are unbeaten in their last 21 matches, winning 10 of their last 11 matches.
You have to be realistic and concede that Belgium are hot favourites to win this match and indeed they should, but they’ve managed to win by a 3-goal margin or more in just 1 of their last 7 home matches, which was last time out with a 3-0 win over Kazakhstan.
Scotland Prediction – Can Scotland cause upset in Brussels?
Scotland have also shown some decent form in recent times as the visitors have won 4 of their last 5 matches overall, and although they started their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign in disappointing fashion, losing 3-0 away at Kazakhstan, they bounced back in impressive fashion by recording back-to-back wins against San Marino and Cyprus.
Scotland had also registered earlier wins over Albania 4-0 away and a 3-2 home win against Israel in the UEFA Nations League, so the visitors will make their way to Brussels with a fair amount of confidence that they can give the Belgians a run for their money in this encounter.
The visitors’ recent results away from home have been fairly ordinary although along with collecting wins at Lithuania, Hungary, Albania and San Marino, the Scots have been beaten by 3 goals or more in just 1 of their last 9 matches on their travels, and they’ll be looking to avoid a heavy defeat here tonight as well.
Scotland have lost by 3 goals or more in just 1 of their last 6 meetings against Belgium.
