Belgium vs Romania: Euro 2024 prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

Belgium are under huge pressure heading into their Euro 2024 clash with Romania, who can book their place in the last-16 with another surprise win.

It is Romania who come into tonight’s clash on a high, buoyed by hammering Ukraine, while Belgium will still be stunned after losing to Slovakia in the biggest shock of the opening rounf of fixtures.

The Red Devils are in something of a last-chance saloon to make good on their much-vaunted golden generation and the auspicious start to their tournament does not bode well.

Of course, there is a long way to go at this Euros and a Belgian win in Cologne on Monday will put them back in the picture to go deep.

The unfancied Romanians, meanwhile, know that a three-goal win already has them among the favourites to reach the knockouts with a point basically guaranteeing their progression.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Belgium vs Romania is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off today, Saturday June 22, 2024.

The match will take place at Cologne Stadium.
