Belgium football fans — Belgium fans get a final look at their heroes today before the Euros

"Belgium have notched just a couple of clean sheets from 11 outings home and away"

Back Both Teams To Score @ 1.845/6 in Belgium v Croatia

Belgium are among the favourites to win the Euros but they've been struggling for clean sheets and Tobias Gourlay fancies Croatia can find a way through the Red Devils today

Belgium v Croatia
Sunday 19:45 (Live on Sky Sports Premier League)

In Wales yesterday, the hosts couldn't find the goal or two they needed to win the match and deliver on our bet. The game finished 0-0.

Our week finishes in Belgium, where the Red Devils take on the Blazers of Croatia this evening. We fancy both teams can head into the Euros with at least a goal or two tonight.

Since early September last year Roberto Martinez's Belgium have notched just a couple of clean sheets from 11 outings home and away - one in an 8-0 belting of Belarus and another against England. The Red Devils scored themselves in all 11 games, so BTTS was the right bet in 9/11.

Croatia are widely thought to have faded since their World Cup final appearance three summers ago. Recent results have done little to dispel that idea. Last time out, the Blazers were held to a 1-1 friendly draw with Armenia.

However, since a 6-0 humiliation by Spain a few months after that World Cup final, Croatia have found the back of the net in 10/11 road games. They've scored against England, Portugal and France in that run. We fancy they can find the back of the net against another Euros favourite today and help us land a BTTS bet.
