Belgium Greece betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This confrontation tends to be somewhat unbalanced, considering that the principal has a cast of excellent quality and has several players who are featured in the largest teams in Europe, while the visitor has only a medium cast and despite the good performance in the qualifiers, made 9 of his 10 points against blank selections. In addition, Belgium has a powerful attack and a solid defensive system, while Greece manage to score against poor teams, but find difficult to balance the networks against most qualified teams. In view of these factors, we believe that Belgium will put the best squad and the game command to win the 3 points without any major difficulties.
