The team in the first match of the October qualifying met away with the Austrian national team - their main rival in the qualifying tournament. By the 58th minute, the Belgians led 3:0. Although they created problems for themselves in the form of Amadou Onana's suspension, they eventually brought the game to victory - 3:2. Dodi Lukebakio scored a double for Belgium, and Lukaku scored another goal. The Belgian national team reached the final part of the European Championship ahead of schedule but can still lost the first line in the qualifying group, so they should not lose motivation at the finish of the selection.
Separately, in the national team of Belgium, we should note Romelu Lukaku. The goal for the Austrians was the ninth for the striker in the current qualifying cycle - at the moment, he is the sole leader of the scoring race.
Sweden
Sweden has big problems. The team won only two matches in five rounds of qualification - 5:0 each against Azerbaijan and Estonia and lost to all strong opponents. The Swedes lost to Belgium at home 0:3; with Austria, they failed twice - 0:2 away, 1:3 at home. Thus, even in case of victory over the Belgians in the upcoming game, the chances of the Swedish team to qualify for Euro 2024 will be only theoretical.
Expert Betting Tips
The current state of the Swedish national team raises big questions. The Scandinavian team confidently beat the outsiders of the qualifying group, but in matches with strong opponents, they invariably lost with a difference of two goals. Given the weakness of the Swedes at the moment, we believe that Belgium will win the upcoming match. The fact is that the Belgians are just three points short of securing first place in the group. And the first place, let us remind you, gives the best position in the draw for the final stage.
