NEW DELHI: Belgium faces Romania on Saturday, hoping to bounce back after a surprising 1-0 defeat to Slovakia in their Euro 2024 opener, which ended their 14-game unbeaten streak. Romania, meanwhile, sits atop Group E after a convincing 3-0 win over Ukraine. The match kicks off at 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT) in Cologne.
A victory for Romania will secure their advancement to the round of 16, and even a draw could be sufficient, given that no team with four points has ever failed to progress in the Euros. Belgium’s unexpected loss is reminiscent of their early exit from the 2022 World Cup, despite their high ranking.
Romelu Lukaku, who led the Euro qualifiers with 14 goals, had a frustrating game against Slovakia with two goals disallowed by VAR. Romania’s Nicolae Stanciu was a standout in their win over Ukraine, scoring a spectacular long-range goal and nearly scoring directly from a corner.
In terms of team news, Romania reports no injury concerns. Belgium, however, may see the return of Axel Witsel, Jan Vertonghen, and Arthur Theate, who missed the Slovakia match due to injury doubts.
By the numbers, Lukaku is Belgium’s all-time leading scorer with 85 goals, and his 14 goals in qualifying set a new European Championship record. Romania’s 3-0 win against Ukraine was their largest margin of victory at the Euros.
The loss to Slovakia marked Belgium’s first defeat under coach Domenico Tedesco, who has won 10 of his 15 games in charge since taking over after the last World Cup.
