Belgium – Portugal Prediction & Picks (02.06.2018)

In one of the most attractive friendly games before the final tournament, Belgium and Portugal will face Saturday, June 2nd. The match will take place on “King Baudouin Stadium” in Brussels, starting at 19:45.

“The Red Devils” qualified without emotion at the Russian World Cup after having had a near-perfect track in Group H. The course was equally constant in friendly matches. Mexico’s score (3-3) was followed by two wins against Japan and Saudi Arabia. Thus, Belgium has reached a series of 16 consecutive games in which it did not know the defeat. Moreover, in 5 of the last 7 games, the offensive found at least three times the way to the opponent’s goal. Man.United striker Romelu Lukaku made an important contribution in this period, scoring not less than 16 goals in the last 13 games.

On the other side, the Portuguese played a series of five friendly matches after qualifying for the World Championship. The evolutions were somewhat oscillating, including a defeat, two wins and so many draws. Earlier this week, Portugal drew 2-2 in the company of Tunisia, although in the 34th minute it had a two-goal lead on the table. The offensive was lacking in the contribution of Cristiano Ronaldo, who will most likely be absent in this game. F.Santos seems determined to extend his vacation to Cristiano after he won the Champions League final with Real Madrid. Santos’s band will play a friendly match before the final tournament on June 7 against Algeria.

In the last direct confrontation disputed in March 2016, Portugal beat the score of 2-1. It was the 3rd consecutive success. In each of these games the table has undergone at least three changes.
