For his part, the third place in the World Cup contested the European Championship qualification with a snow-white vest and is one of the hottest favorites for the title in the competition.
Belgium - statistics & current form
As described, the Belgian national team had a flawless run of ten victories in the European Championship qualifiers. Only Italy also achieved this maximum yield. However, the Belgians won the title of the strongest attacking team with an average of four goals per game.

No wonder, because in the storm you have Romelu Lukaku on hand, who recently won the Serie A championship with Inter and also received the award for the best player in the country's top division.

In the national team, the attacker is equally unstoppable: No player in the history of the Red Devils has scored more goals and in the last friendly last weekend Lukaku was there again with a goal, which defeated the World Cup second from Croatia.

Is "Big Rome” striking again?
Furthermore, his yield can be seen in major tournaments: He scored seven goals in 15 games! In view of his formidable constitution, the odds on a hit by him are also associated with value in the encounter between Belgium and Russia. Unibet offers them at a rate of 2.18.

From the Belgians' point of view, it was also pleasing recently that Eden Hazard was able to play again for the first time. The midfield strategist was on the field for 30 minutes against the Croatians, which is why the Real Madrid player will probably be fit again in time for the European Championship.

KDB will still have to fit
But it remains to be seen in the case of Kevin de Bruyne, who is still suffering from the consequences of Rüdiger's violent body check from the Champions League final. Axel Witsel from BVB is also not yet an option in midfield due to an injury. But even all these very prominent personal construction sites change little in terms of the clout in the offensive midfield of the Belgians.
Free fixed picks
With players like Thorgan Hazard or Youri Tielemans, powerful backups are available and in the attack, as described, Lukaku is currently probably the best attacker in Europe.
Expected formation of Belgium:
Courtois - Denayer - Alderweireld - Vertonghen - Dendoncker - Chadli - Tielemans - Hazard T. - Hazard E. - Lukaku - Mertens

Russia - statistics & current form
The Sbornaja will mainly rely on Artem Dzyuba. The attacker won the Russian Premier League title with Zenit this season and the top scorer title. In addition, the 32-year-old will be particularly motivated because the game will take place in his football living room in St. Petersburg.
Free fixed picks
In the Russian national team, Dzyuba, who is just one goal behind storm legend Alexander Kerzhakov in the country's all-time goalscorer list, is undoubtedly the most important offensive player.
Dzyuba had a strong qualification
An assessment that can easily be deduced from his performance in the European Championship qualification: Only the top scorer of this phase of the competition in the person of Harry Kane was involved in more goals. The Russian striker delivered no fewer than nine hits and five assists for his team.

In last week's friendly matches, however, he failed to score one goal and the entire offensive was not very convincing. So it was enough against Poland to a 1: 1 and then Bulgaria was only just beaten 1: 0, although there were plenty of scoring chances.

The last competitive match in the current World Cup qualification against Slovakia last March also ended with a surprising bankruptcy against Slovakia.
Kader lacks offensive depth
One shortcoming compared to the upcoming opponent is that the offensive department is less staffed across the board. In addition to Dzyuba, players with international class such as Aleksandr Golovin from Monaco or Aleksey Miranchuk from Bergamo are few and far between in the 39th place in the world rankings.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Russia does not occupy more than a place in the midfield when it comes to the odds for the European championship title.
Expected formation of Russia:
Shunin - Karavaev - Dzhikiya - Semyonov - Zhirkov - Ozdoev - Barinov - Zobnin - Golovin - Ionov - Dzyuba

Direct comparison / H2H
The last time the teams faced each other during the most recent European Championship qualification and the games ended in favor of the Belgians. Here they demonstrated their offensive strength, as the results of 3: 1 and 4: 1 were clear. In addition, looking back on the last 20 years, the Russians have not won a single time in this pairing (0-1-5).
Free fixed picks
For the upcoming duel between Belgium and Russia at the EM 2021, the odds, unsurprisingly, point again towards a victory for the Martinez-Elf.

This European Championship closes a time window for Belgium. The "golden generation” around players like Eden Hazard or Kevin de Bruyne is getting on in years and this judgment applies especially to the defense. This is where the Red Devils run with Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld, both of whom have long since arrived in their 30s.
Free fixed predictions
After a third place at the last World Cup, it should now work with a title, because the chance of this will not get better in the future and of course the former status of a secret favorite has long since been eliminated. For the trial of strength between Belgium and Russia, the prognosis for a victory for the Rode Duivels also appears profitable.
Free fixed picks
Although the Martinez-Elf has some personal concerns, possible failures like Kevin de Bruyne do not change the fact that the squad is superior to the counterpart at the opponent. Romelu Lukaku in particular should once again make the difference.
Free fixed tips
The striker enters the tournament as a newly crowned champion in Italy as well as with the award of the best player in Serie A and proved his scoring risk again in the last friendly against Croatia with a goal. Even the home advantage should not help the Sbornaja.
At Unibet, betting odds of 1.74 can be claimed for the match between Belgium and Russia.
