With Kevin De Bruyne leading from the front, Belgium are expected to entertain football fans with their exciting brand of football during the Euro 2024. Belgium will kick off their Euro 2024 journey with a Group E match against Slovakia at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on Monday, June 17.
For Belgium, Romelu Lukaku will play as a sole striker, with Leandro Trossard and Kevin de Bruyne expected to operate from behind. With first-team players like Jan Vertonghen and Arthur Theate ruled out due to injuries, Belgium boss Domenico Tedesco may find it tricky to finalise the defence line-up. Slovakia, on the other hand, have also built a strong squad for this EURO. Their forward line will be spearheaded by Robert Bozenik. The midfield duties will be performed by 37-year-old Juraj Kucka who will link up with Stanislav Lobotka and Milan Skriniar.
Before coming to Germany for the Euro 2024, Belgium featured in two warm-up games. They defeated Montenegro 2-0 before registering a 3-0 win over Luxemburg. Meanwhile, Slovakia secured a 4-0 win in both of their pre-Euro friendlies against San Marino and Wales.
