Belgium’s Euro 2024 journey began with a disappointing 0-1 loss against Slovakia in Group E, leaving them at the bottom of their group standings. Their next encounter, a match against Romania, becomes a pivotal moment in their campaign. A victory is crucial for Belgium, as a defeat would significantly diminish their chances of progressing to the knockout stages.
To qualify from the group, Belgium needs a strong performance in the remaining matches. If they manage to win both their upcoming matches, they’ll secure six points, guaranteeing their place in the knockout round. Winning one and losing one would leave them with three points, a precarious position. In this scenario, Belgium could finish third in the group, leaving their fate dependent on goal difference.
A victory in one match coupled with a draw in the other would yield four points. This outcome could see Belgium qualify as either second or third in the group, depending on the results of other teams in the group. With their opening match loss, Belgium’s path to success in Euro 2024 has become more challenging, but their chances remain alive. Their upcoming matches will be critical in determining whether they can overcome this initial setback and progress to the next stage of the tournament.
