Israel vs Belgium Prediction: 17/11/2024

Israel will face Belgium in Nations League action on Sunday, and all eyes are on the match predictions, poll results, and game statistics.

Israel heads into the match looking to recover from a 4-1 defeat against Italy in their last Nations League outing. In that game, Israel held 31% possession and managed five shots, two of which were on target. Mohammad Abu Fani scored Israel’s only goal in the 66th minute, while Italy found the net with goals from Mateo Retegui, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, and Davide Frattesi. Notably, Israel’s recent games have been high-scoring, with at least three goals in each of their last six matches, conceding 16 goals while scoring eight.

Belgium, on the other hand, will aim to rebound after a loss to France in their previous Nations League match. Belgium held 46% possession, attempting 20 shots with seven on target, and Loïs Openda scored in the 45th minute. However, France scored twice through Randal Kolo Muani. Belgium has struggled defensively, conceding in five of their last six games and allowing eight goals in total.

In their last meeting on September 6, 2024, Belgium won 3-1 against Israel, with Belgium holding 64% possession and 25 shots on goal. Kevin De Bruyne, Timothy Castagne (own goal), and Youri Tielemans were the scorers for Belgium.

Both teams are expected to be at full strength, with no injury concerns for either manager, Ran Ben Shimon for Israel and Domenico Tedesco for Belgium.

 

Prediction

Israel may be able to score against Belgium, but it’s likely not enough to secure a win. The prediction is a 2-1 victory for Belgium, with expectations of over 1.5 goals in the match.
