Belgium faces Portugal in the Euro 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Sunday, June 27th at Estadio de La Cartuja (Sevilla)
Belgium confidently got through the group stage of Euro 2020. The Red Devils scored nine points in three matches, beating all opponents in Group B — Russians (3-0), Danes (2-1), and Finns (2- 0). The Belgians played the match against Finland in St. Petersburg, already having a ticket to the knockout rounds. Despite this, Martinez's team did not give points to the Finns. The Eagle-owls kept the zeros on the scoreboard until the 74th minute, but an own goal by Lukas Hradecky and another accurate shot from Romelu Lukaku decided the outcome of the match in favor of the Belgian national team. The Belgians turned out to be one of the most productive teams in the group round (seven goals scored). Only the Dutch, who scored eight goals in their group, outranked the Red Devils. At the same time, Martinez's team conceded only one goal, although there was not a single top team in Group B that could check the readiness of the aging Belgian defense.

Like at Euro 2016, the reigning European champions made their way to the knockout rounds from the 3rd line in the group. Portugal scored four points in the group of death, where the national teams of France, Germany and Hungary also played. Having started with a difficult away victory over the Hungarians (0-3), the Portuguese failed in defense in the match against the Germans (2-4). In the final match in the group, they tied against the finalists of the last Euro, French (2-2). Santos' team achieved a draw thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo, who converted two penalties and led the list of top scorers with five goals. The group stage revealed significant defensive problems of the Portuguese. In three matches, Selecao conceded six goals, and it is the worst indicator among all teams that made it to the knockout rounds. Curiously, the Portuguese scored two of six goals on their own. Ruben Dias and Rafael Guerreiro turned the ball into their net in the game against Germany.
The upcoming game will be rich in scoring chances. The Portuguese can't put things right in their defense, and both the Germans and the French used that problem. For this reason, all the matches with the participation of Ronaldo and company ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. The Belgians are no less formidable in the attack, and they will certainly take advantage of the given chances. The statistics of the Red Devils in the group stage also hints at good performance. In matches against Russia and Denmark, the bet on Over 2.5 goals scored was winning. And it could have taken place in the match against the Finns if the Belgians did not play in economy mode. We are waiting for an abundance of goals scored in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
