Belgium vs Cyprus Prediction and Football Tips
Euro 2016 football tips – Belgium vs Cyprus prediction
Everton’s Romelu Lukaku has had to pull out of the Belgium squad after suffering an injury, while club team mate Kevin Mirallas didn’t receive a call up due to a dead leg. Christian Benteke is another injury scare for the Belgians, but should just be fit enough to make the game against Cyprus.
Cyprus are going strong in Euro 2016 qualifying Group B, sat in third place above Belgium, who have played a game less and will be looking to climb up the table with a win here.
The Belgians have scored 1.6 goals per match on average over the last ten, while Cyprus have scored just under a goal a game with 0.9. Belgium have also got a very strong defensive record over the last ten games, with only 0.4 goals conceded per match, which will make this a tough job for Cyprus; who themselves concede on average 1.2 goals per game over the last ten.
In the last ten games, Belgium have been involved in only three games involving more than 2.5 goals, while Cyprus have been in four.
The two nations have never met in a game of football before, so history will be made and both teams could do with a win to put pressure on Israel who top the table and Wales who are just behind.
Belgium will have too much for Cyprus and with players like Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard in the form of their lives, this could be a rout.
