Belgium vs. Greece: Tip, Prognosis & Odds - 03.06.2021 - WELT: International friendly games
The first in the world rankings from Belgium expects Greece for a friendly one week before the start of the 2021 European Championship. The guests did not qualify for the continental finals and have had a very dreary existence in international football for several years. The situation at the Diables Rouges is completely different.

Belgium - statistics & current form
The third place in the World Cup qualified for the 2021 European Championship in an impressive manner: all ten games were played victoriously. In addition, the team of coach Roberto Martinez scored the most goals of all teams and conceded the fewest goals at the same time. More superlatives are hardly possible.

Admittedly, the task in Group I was comparatively easy, but the previous Nations League also proved the enormous power of the Belgians. The competition reached the Final Four, which will take place next autumn.

Belgium's offensive knows where the goal is
The Belgian national team is equipped with numerous top stars, especially on the offensive. Above all, Romelu Lukaku should be mentioned: the attacker was named the best Serie A player a few days ago and was an important pillar for Inter Milan to win the Scudetto.

In the history of the country no player has scored more goals in the national team jersey and with players like Dries Mertens from Napoli or Michy Batshuayi he has powerful offensive players by his side. Lukaku also scored in the last two duels with Greece, but will probably not be used this time.

Coach Martinez will not send his first guard onto the field against the Greeks, especially since some regulars like Kevin de Bruyne or Axel Witsel are in trouble.
Do the home side strike in both halves of the game?
Nevertheless, the second suit from Belgium is to be assessed much more strongly compared to the opponent, which is why the odds of hits by the hosts in both halves of the game are also associated with value in Belgium against Greece. Unibet is offering it at 1.87. The bookmaker is currently also offering a lucrative Unibet new customer bonus.

Greece - statistics & current form
Greece is only bobbing in 53rd place in the world rankings and although this FIFA ranking should always be treated with caution, in the case of the southern Europeans it adequately reflects the constitution of the national team. The "Ethniki” missed the last World Cup in Russia in the playoffs against Croatia and the Greeks haven't been to an EM for a long time.

The last participation was nine years ago. In the Nations League, the blue-whites also only compete on the C level. In view of this record, the situation of Greek football can be described as dreary.
Greece is hoping for John van ‘t Schip
It is also questionable whether the Dutchman John van ‘t Schip, who has been installed as a new coach since 2019, can give the national team a new impetus. The 57-year-old previously worked in Mexico, Australia and in his home country at Zwolle. More than winning the FFA Cup Down Under with Melbourne City can not be seen as a success.

In his role as a Greek coach, however, van ‘t Schip has at least got off to a solid start. Only three of the 17 games under his direction were lost (8-6-3). A decent yield, even if the majority of the opponents can hardly be compared with the task ahead.

But that his Greeks can also annoy European heavyweights from time to time, they proved last March when a draw was wrested from Spain.
Expected formation of Greece:
Vlachodimos - Tzavellas - Giannoulis - Papadopoulos - Bakakis - Zeca - Bakasetas - Bouchalakis - Fortounis - Pavlidis - Tzolis

Direct comparison / H2H
The Belgians and Greeks faced each other for the last time as part of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The southern Europeans scored an away draw in March 2017, followed by a home defeat with 1: 2 the following September.
Free soccer predictions
In total, the duel has risen seven times so far and the third player in the last World Cup finals in 2018 has three wins in one defeat and three draws ahead of the direct comparison. For the upcoming trial of strength between Belgium and Greece, the odds point again towards a victory for the Red Devils.

Betting base forecast & Belgium Belgium - Greece Greece tip
Even if the hosts are not in the best cast, they will continue to play the role of favorites. The hosts' squad is too broad compared to the opposition's limited personal options. For the game between Belgium and Greece, the tip includes a goal by Michy Batshuayi.

The Crystal Palace striker will certainly be in the starting XI this time, as stars like Lukaku or Mertens will be spared. The native of Brussels has often successfully filled this substitute role in the past.
The former BVB player scored in his last four appearances in the Belgian national team and twice even twice! He is now on the sidelines at his club from London, but the attacker regularly flourishes in the international matches. On top of that, he will be very committed, as the 27-year-old would like to recommend himself for the upcoming EM.
Free soccer predictions
The chances of possibly taking the place next to Lukaku are also not that bad, because Dries Mertens currently looks a bit weak and recently just got off the bench at his home club from Naples. Unibet has odds of 1.92 for the match between Belgium and Greece.
