Israel v Belgium: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Belgium can solidify their position in third place in UEFA Nations League Group A2, which would mean a relegation play-off, by beating bottom-of-the-table Israel in Budapest on Sunday.

Israel v Belgium betting tips and predictions

Belgium to win to nil - 6/4

Belgium were expected to fight it out with the other big boys in Group A2, France and Italy, for the top two places but things have not gone to plan for Domenico Tedesco's side.

It has been a disappointing year for the Belgians. They were poor at the Euros in the summer and were knocked out at the last-16 stage by France after winning just one match and, since then, have struggled badly in the Nations League.

Belgium started off their group campaign with a 3-1 win over Israel but their following results have been dismal - losing home and away to neighbours France, while they also went down 1-0 at home to the Azzurri.

They showed some fighting spirit when coming back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Italy but, in truth, this has been a Nations League campaign to forget.

They should, however, round it off with a win on neutral territory in Hungary to ensure they at least finish above Israel, who have lost four of their five matches in the competition.

Israel's only bright spark came last time out when they earned a creditable goalless draw with France, but they have scored just four goals in their five games, while conceding 13, so even an under-performing Belgian side should be good enough to prevail over them by winning to nil at the Bozsik Arena.

Under 2.5 goals - 7/5

It could be a timid affair in the Hungarian capital between two sides at a low ebb.

Goals, therefore, may be at a premium as the two nations play out their final group match, probably keen to see the back of the competition with the best either can hope for being third place.

Israel have struggled for goals throughout the group matches and their most recent game finished 0-0 against France.

Similarly, Belgium have not been anywhere near their previous free-flowing best attacking-wise, going down to a dull 1-0 home defeat to Italy most recently.

Amadou Onana to score anytime - 5/1

Amadou Onana should keep his place in the Belgium midfield for this game and the Aston Villa man might just be the player to inspire Tedesco's side on Sunday.

Onana has enjoyed a good start to his Villa career following his summer move from Everton, scoring twice for Unai Emery's side this season.

Even though he failed to get on the scoresheet in Villa's two matches prior to this international break, Onana had three shots in total in the defeats at Tottenham and Liverpool so he should have arrived at the Belgian camp with some degree of confidence.

Onana has 20 caps for Belgium and will be one of the more experienced players Tedesco hopes he can rely on against Israel.
