Belgium has been a favorite to win the World Cup trophy in the last decade, but their biggest success in the 21st century was third place in the 2018 World Cup in Germany. They have reached the quarterfinals in two EUROs, losing against Wales and Italy. Belgium has a solid chance to reach another quarterfinal due to a 15-game run without defeat, including victories against Montenegro and Luxembourg in two friendly matches. Slovakia, with one EURO title since 1976, has only appeared in three major tournaments since independence but has not had much success. Their primary goal at the upcoming EURO is to qualify for the knockout phase. They have won two matches in June, including a 4-0 victory against Wales.

Belgium faces challenges with their squad for the EURO, with injured defenders Jan Vertonghen and Arthur Theate, and unspecified injury to Axel Witsel. Thomas Meunier is also ruled out for Monday due to an injury from the previous friendly match. However, reports suggest that Youri Tielemans should be ready for the EURO opener.

Slovakia’s squad lacks quality but is well-organized, with Milan Skriniar (PSG), Stanislav Lobotka (Napoli), and David Hancko (Feyenoord) being the top players. Currently, Slovakia has no injury concerns, but no other star in the squad.

Predicted lineups:

Belgium

Goalkeeper: Koen Casteels
Defenders: Zeno Debast, Wout Faes, Timothy Castagne, Maxim De Cuyper
