JAKARTA - Belgium will face Romania on the second matchday of Group E Euro 2024. The match will take place at the Rhein Energie Stadium, Germany, on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at 02.00 WIB.

Ahead of the match, Belgium came in an uncomfortable situation because of the defeat they received in the first match. Facing Slovakia, Belgium, who became one of the favorite teams, lost 0-1.

The result then left the Red Devils, Belgium's nickname, now behind in third place in Group E. Even so, when facing Romania, Belgium still had a great opportunity to win.

Domenico coach Tedesco must motivate his team after a painful defeat to Slovakia. The presence of star players like Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne could make Belgium the seeded team in the match later.

Facing Romania, Belgium is expected to appear sharper in attack. If they are able to play with a better finish pattern in the opponent's penalty box, they are predicted to be able to pocket three points against Romania.

However, the mission to rise to Belgium in this match will not be easy either. The reason is, Romania looks at the match in a more favorable situation.

Romania's victory with a convincing score of 3-0 over Ukraine shocked many. Romania has shown itself to be a dark horse worth taking into account.

They even made Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin helpless by picking up the ball three times from the net. Two goals remotely by Nicolae Stanciu and Razvan Marin and one goal from Denis Dragus earned Romania the biggest win in Euro history.

The slick result in the first match was sufficient to fuel the Romanian players' enthusiasm to face Belgium. With the opposite team situation, the second matchday of Group E is certain to run hot and interesting.
