Belgium vs Cyprus
Belgium shows no signs of decline ahead of the final duel of Group I EURO 2020 qualification. They will face Cyprus who are struggling to finish in the top 3. The clash was held at the King Baudoin Stadium.
Last Sunday (11/17) they had just performed in Russia and managed to conquer the host with a score of 1-4. Eden Hazard scored two goals in this match to help Belgium set a perfect record with 9 wins in 9 matches.
Meanwhile, Cyprus again received minor results, losing 1-2 to Scotland. They actually performed well with 58% possession and 3 shots on target, while the visitors responded 4 times. This disaster also made them kicked out to number 4 by a difference of two points from the visitors who now move up to number 3.
Facing Belgium at home will certainly provide a very slim chance for Cyprus to win. The reason, the new host conceded 1 time with that role and managed to score 21 goals in just 4 occasions. On the one hand, the Cyprus away chart continues to improve after losing in a row to Scotland and Russia, then winning over San Marino and Kazakhstan.
The first round last March Belgium won 0-2 as Cypriot guests, making them dominate the absolute last five meetings as winners, not even conceding and scoring 15 goals. With a note like this, it seems, Cyprus must bury its leader to finish in 3rd place and qualify through the playoff path.
Our Prediction: Over 3.5
Odds: 1.69
