Israel vs Belgium Prediction and Betting Tips | November 17th 2024

Israel will square off with Belgium at Bozsik Aréna in the final match of the UEFA Nations League group stage on Sunday. Both teams have been eliminated from contention to qualify for the quarterfinals and will look to avoid relegation to League B.

The Skyblue and Whites earned their first point of the campaign on Thursday as they played to a goalless draw against France. They kept their first clean sheet in the competition since 2020.

The visitors suffered their third defeat of the campaign on Thursday, falling to a 1-0 home loss to Italy. They failed to score for the second time in four games and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

Israel are at the bottom of the Group A2 table and need to record a win by a margin of seven points to finish third. De Rode Duivels have four points and will look to conclude their group-stage campaign on a positive note.

Israel vs Belgium Prediction

Israel earned their first point of the Nations League campaign earlier this week and will look to build on that form. They failed to score for the first time while also keeping their first clean sheet this time around.

They have scored more than one goal in just one of their eight games in this fixture and will look to improve upon that record.

Belgium suffered their second consecutive loss in the Nations League on Thursday and will look to bounce back with a win here. They have two wins in their last six away games in the Nations League, suffering two defeats, which is a cause for concern.

While both teams have endured a poor run of form in the competition, considering the visitors' dominance in this fixture and better defensive form, the Red Devils are expected to record a narrow win.

Prediction: Israel 1-2 Belgium
