Belgium vs. Russia Tip & Quotas, 12.06.2021 – 21:00
On Saturday evening, June 12, 2021 at 9 p.m., the national teams of Belgium and Russia will also start at the Gazprom Arena in Group B in St. Petersburg. Denmark and Finland complete the group at EURO 2021. The Red Devils disappointed as one of the favourites for the title at the 2016 European Championships and retired after the quarter-final against outsiders Wales.
The Sbornaja also participated in the final round in France just under five years ago, but drove home without victory after the preliminary round.

Roberto Martinez ‘national team plays for the sixth time in a European Championship this year and is once again among the favourites. At THE EURO 2016 in France, the tournament started with a start against Italy (0-2). Against Ireland and Sweden, the entry into the quarter-finals was then made perfect with two victories, where Hungary was defeated 4-0. In the round of the last eight teams, the Red Devils embarrassed Wales (1-3) and retired prematurely. The Belgians achieved the best result in an European Championship in 1980 with the final draw in Italy. But against Germany the final was lost and you only became vice European champion.
The Martinez team had a simple group in qualifying for the European Championships, where they already met Russia, which they beat twice (3:1 and 4:1). All ten qualifying games were won by Belgium and celebrated the highest win in their home game against San Marino (9:0). Otherwise, Cyprus and Kazakhstan were opponents in Group I who did not belong to the relevant circle in European football. It was not a great art to make the best offensive in Europe with 40 qualifying gates.
With a value of 721 million euros, the World Cup third is one of the most valuable in the world. For years, the national team has been equipped with world-class players and is not called the Golden Generation for nothing. She was unable to win a title in France (2016) and in Russia (third place after all) at the last World Championship 2018. Most players have a big name in Europe and with Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan), Youri Tielemans (Leicester City) and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) the most valuable with a combined market value of 320 million. If there is a weakness in the Red Devils’ squad, it’s the defensive side that doesn’t have any footballers in the ranks compared to other top teams in the back that would be considered world-class today.

The Eastern Europeans embarrassed themselves about five years ago at the European Championships in France and retired in a feasible group with England (1:1), Slovakia (1:2) and Wales (0:3) already after the preliminary round without complete success. The EURO next summer will be the sixth final round for Stanislav Cherchesov’s team. Until now, they always flew out after the group stage, except in 2008 in Switzerland and Austria, when they advanced to the semi-finals and then failed at the later European Championship winner Spain. Surprisingly, the 2018 home World Cup in Russia saw Croatia go into the quarter-finals (out for penalties). A round earlier, Russia beat Spain and reached the climax of the World Cup with this victory.
The Cherchesov elf played in the same torture group as Belgium and also won against the other small nations. Only against the Red Devils were there the two defeats during the qualifying and thus second place with 24 points and the direct EM qualifying. The Sbornaja also celebrated a 9-0 edge victory against San Marion and enjoyed 33 goals in the light group during the qualifying. Only three national teams were even more dangerous in the front.
With a squad value of 150 million euros, the Russian selection is only a fraction of that of the Belgian. The Sbornaja does not have a real international star and can be classified as mediocre. In attack, Russia has two international kickers, Captain Artem Dzyuba (Zenit St. Petersburg) and Aleksandr Sobolev (Spartak Moscow). Behind them Aleksandr Golovin (AS Monaco) and Aleksey Miranchuk (Atalanta Bergamo) are responsible for the game design and belong to the strongest team section. The most vulnerable are the Russians on the defensive. With the exception of right-wing defender Mario Fernandes (ZSKA Moscow) and central defender Georgyi Dzhikiya (Spartak Moscow), the rest is rather inexperienced or has already reached an age.
Latest matches from Russia
Russia: 2 victories – 0 draws – 3 defeats
5 victories Belgium – 1 draw – 0 victories Russia
The Belgian national team is a clear favourite against Russia for the first victory on the first day of the European Championship Group B. As two years ago in qualifying, the Red Devils were able to beat the World Cup host of 2018 twice and will very likely also be able to defeat the Cherchesov team for the third time in a row.
The Belgians are at least one class better and also convinced in the European qualifying with ten victories from ten international matches. Under normal daily form, the Martinez-Elf will easily win the first game in St. Petersburg at the EURO.
For all safety-conscious betting friends who do not want to take an excessive risk with their EM 2021 Tip Forecast, we recommend winning the 3-way bets on Belgium. The odds offered for this sports betting tip are in the average range of 1.60.
