The fire of European soccer has been reignited this evening, and the fierce battle in Group F is about to start, with Belgium hosting the challenge of Sweden. Although the "Red Devils of Europe" have already locked up a place in the qualifying round in advance, manager Tedesco has led his team to a series of victories, and the momentum is as strong as ever. Sweden's chances of competing for the top two spots are slim, so they can only hope to win tonight, and strive for a victory at home in Belgium. (Kickoff is at 2:45 a.m. on Tuesday, so stay tuned!)
Belgium narrowly beat Austria 3-2 in the last round of matches, and now has 16 points in Group F, 10 points ahead of third-place Sweden, locking up a direct promotion spot in the top two in two rounds ahead of schedule. But don't forget, since last year's World Cup group stage elimination, Tedesco took over the team and led the team to play 7 matches with an undefeated record of 6 wins and 1 draw, and won all the last 4 matches, which is a full recovery in terms of results, spectacle and confidence. Especially the performance of Lukaku, who has scored 9 goals in the European Championships, contrasting with his sluggish performance in the World Cup.
In terms of wariness, Sweden is perhaps stronger than Belgium, which is already out of the tournament. However, Swedish scorer Aleksandar Ishak withdrew from the game due to injury, and Sweden's recent match with Moldova, although the team won 3-1, the opponent is weaker. Moreover, Shesper Karlsson has yet to score after joining Bologna in this season's Serie A. Striker Gu Aichen has even missed 12 yards, making the team's frontline offense look very weak.
