England take on the visitors Belgium in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 26th at Wembley Stadium (London).
England will attempt to prepare as best as possible for the upcoming continental tournament. The Three Lions reached the final at the last Euro, where, at Wembley Stadium, they lost in a penalty shootout to the Italians. Considering their previous achievements under the same coach, Southgate, reaching the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup, showing the best result since the golden year of 1966, everyone expected triumph in Qatar. For this cause, seemingly paying little attention to the Nations League, they failed in that tournament, finishing last in their group. However, at the World Cup itself, despite a good and entertaining game, the English were knocked out in the quarterfinals by the French. Despite this result, Gareth retained his position. He justified the trust with a confident victory in their qualifying group, including winning both matches against the main competitor, Italy. Only Ukraine managed to hold them to a draw, and they ended up splitting points with North Macedonia in the final moments. They suffered their first setback since their exit from the World Cup on Saturday against Brazil, losing 0-1.

Belgium played under the guidance of Roberto Martinez for a long time. It was this Spaniard who squeezed out the maximum result in the entire history of this team, winning the bronze at the 2018 World Cup. But that was essentially where it all stopped, and many believe that generation could have achieved more. The signal of their decline from the peak was the last Euro, where, after a powerful start, the favorite fairly quickly exited the tournament. But, most importantly, there was disgrace at the World Cup in Qatar, with an exit after the group stage, along with a lot of bickering and conflicts among the players. This legacy fell to Domenico Tedesco, a young German who is working in such a format for the first time. In the summer, the leading players, De Bruyne and Courtois, also broke down. But for the year 2023, there was only one comparative setback, a home draw against Austria. Winning all other matches, they confidently stepped onto the Euros, adding to that the friendly matches won against the Germans and Serbs. This camp started with a trip to Ireland. In Dublin, neither side showed much eagerness, ending in a 0-0 draw.
At the mentioned 2018 World Cup, The Red Devils defeated The Three Lions both in the group stage and in the third-place match. Then the sides met in the 2020 Nations League, exchanging victories. It's hard to believe in a second setback in a row for The Lions, especially considering The Red Devils seem to be currently set up loyally. Let's bet on the home team's victory.
Prediction for the match: England to win.
