Rudi Garcia's debut at the helm of Belgium was not good. Despite leading at halftime, Belgium lost 1-3 to Ukraine in the first match. This continues their downward trend, registering their fourth consecutive loss and sixth consecutive match without a win. Only one win in the last nine matches also does not speak well for the state of Belgium.
Ukraine once again showed that they remain a dangerous and difficult opponent, despite the situation in their country. This was the fifth consecutive match without a loss for the team. Ukraine has already gotten used to playing in foreign stadiums and since 2021 has not had a match on their home turf. Belgium was also not given the opportunity to host Euro 2024, as the two teams ended in a goalless draw.
Forecast: +1.5 AH for UkraineBelgium is obviously not in good form at all, and Rudi Garcia definitely needs time to potentially change things for the better. At the same time, Ukraine once again showed that they are a difficult opponent and I expect this to be the case in the rematch as well.
